1 End of wire conductor is flush with or extends beyond edge of
terminal wire barrel a maximum of 1.60 mm [.063 in.].
2 Wire fully inserted.
3 Crimp centered on wire barrel.
4 Wire size is the same as wire size stamped on terminal
tongue, splice body, and wire barrel.
5 Proper color code, wire size, and tooling combination used.
6 Wire conductors butted against wire stop, or flush with or
extended slightly beyond edge of splice wire barrel.
1 End of wire conductor not flush with or extending slightly
beyond end of terminal wire barrel.
2 Wire not inserted fully or wrong strip length used.
3 Crimp not centered on terminal wire barrel. Terminal wire
barrel was not butted against locator when crimped.
4 Wire size not the same as wire size stamped on terminal
tongue, splice body, and wire barrel.
5 Wrong color code, wire size, and tooling combination used.
6 End of wire conductor not visible. Conductor did not butt
against wire stop, or was not flush with or extended slightly
beyond splice wire barrel.
7 Crimp not centered on splice wire barrel. Edge of window
indent did not butt against locator when crimped.
8 Nicked or missing wire strands.
9 Splice was reversed in die (locator was not oriented with
window indent) when crimped.
10 Excessive flash" or extruded wire insulation (die was either
damaged or incompatible when crimped).

4. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped,
cracked, worn, or broken areas. If damage is
evident, the dies must be repaired before returning
them to service (see Section 7, REPLACEMENT
AND REPAIR).
6.3. Gaging the Crimping Chamber
The die closure inspection is accomplished using plug
gages. A suggested gage design and the GO and
NO–GO diameters of the plug gage elements are
shown in Figure 8. The following procedure is
recommended for inspecting the die closures.
