6. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
Crimp height inspection is performed through the use
of a micrometer with a modified anvil, commonly
referred to as a crimp--height comparator. Tyco
Electronics does not manufacture or market
crimp--height comparators. Detailed information on
obtaining and using crimp--height comparators can be
found in instruction sheet 408--7424.
Proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 4 and select a wire (maximum
size) for each crimp section listed.
3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a
tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment
wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a
higher--numbered setting. If a looser crimp is
required, rotate the adjustment wheel
CLOCKWISE to a lower--numbered setting.

2. Refer to Section 5, CRIMPING PROCEDURE,
and crimp the contact(s) accordingly.
3. Using a crimp height comparator, measure the
wire barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 4. If the
crimp height conforms to that shown in the table,
the tool is considered dimensionally correct. If not,
the tool must be adjusted. Refer to Section 7,
RATCHET (Crimp Height) ADJUSTMENT.
7. RATCHET (Crimp Height) ADJUSTMENT (Figure 5 )
1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel
from the locator side of the tool.

5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp
height. If the dimension is acceptable, replace and
secure the lockscrew. If the dimension is
unacceptable, continue to adjust the ratchet, and
again measure a sample crimp.
