Crimps centered. Crimp may be slightly off center but
not off end of wire barrel.

CMA of wire being used matches wire range stamped
on terminal or splice and dies.
3
Wire is visible through inspection hole of butt splice,
and is flush with or extends slightly beyond end of
terminal wire barrel.

On parallel splices, bare wire ends must be flush with
or extend slightly beyond end of barrel.

Wire not inserted far enough in terminal or splice. End
of wire must be visible through inspection hole of butt
splices, and be flush with or extend slightly beyond
end of terminal wire barrel or parallel splice.

7.1. Daily Maintenance
Tyco Electronics recommends that each operator be
responsible for the following steps of daily
maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or a lint–free cloth. Do
NOT use objects that could damage the dies.
2. Make certain the dies are protected with a thin
coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. Do NOT oil
excessively.
NOTE
i
Wipe excess oil from tool, particularly from
crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping
area onto certain terminations may affect the
electrical characteristics of an application.
3. When the dies are not in use, mate them and
store in a clean, dry area.
7.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the die assembly or be supplied to
supervisory personnel responsible for the die
assembly. Though recommendations call for at least
one inspection a month, the frequency should be
based on amount of use, working conditions, operator
training and skill, and your established company
policies. These inspections should include a visual
inspection (Paragraph 7.3) and a crimping chamber
inspection (Paragraph 7.4).
7.3. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the die assembly in a suitable
commercial degreaser that will not affect paint or
plastic.
2. Inspect crimp area for flattened, chipped, or
broken areas. See Figure 5. Replace worn or
damaged parts.
