NOTE
i
Similar splices with an insulation color other than
red or blue can be crimped with these tools;
however, wire size must be used, instead of the
tool-to-product color code, to establish
compatibility.

5. Hold wire in place and squeeze tool handles
together until the CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet
releases. Allow tool handles to open FULLY.
Remove the crimped splice from the tool.
6. To crimp other half of splice, position the
uncrimped wire barrel in the tool, and crimp as
described in Step 5.
7. Remove the crimped splice from the tool, and
inspect the crimp. Make sure the proper crimp
dot code is shown on the splice insulation for the
appropriate hand tool. Refer to Figure 4.

For detailed crimp inspection requirements, refer
to Application Specification 114-2161.
Crimp Dot Code
NOTE
i
A complete list of butt splice part numbers cannot
be maintained on this document. For all part
numbers and their description, refer to your TE
Representative.
Proceed as follows:
1. Strip the wire using the appropriate strip
length dimensions provided in Figure 2. Do NOT
nick or cut the wire strands.
2. Open the crimping jaws by squeezing the tool
handles together until the ratchet releases.
3. Insert stripped wire into the splice wire barrel.
4. Locate the splice—with the wire inserted—
into the crimping jaws, as shown in Figure 3. The
end of the splice should rest against the locator.

Each tool has three insulation crimp adjustment
positions to adjust the wire insulation grip: 1—Tight,
2—Medium, and 3—Loose. To obtain the desired
insulation grip, proceed as follows:
