5. Insert a properly stripped wire through the
insulation stop slot and into the wire barrel of the
contact until the insulation butts against the
insulation stop.
6. Holding wire in place, crimp contact to the wire
by squeezing the tool handles together until the
ratchet releases.
7. Allow tool handles to open FULLY. Depress the
Contact Retaining Plate and remove the contact.
Insulation Adjustment Procedure
On many tools, the insulation barrel crimp height is
regulated by the insulation adjustment knob
(Figure 1). The insulation crimp should hold the
insulation firmly without cutting into the insulation.
To determine the proper insulation crimp setting, test
crimp a loose piece contact using the setting which
corresponds to the insulation diameter: (1) ---- small;
(2) and (3) ---- medium; or (4) ---- large. If the crimped
insulation barrel is too tight or loose, change the
setting by pulling out and rotating the adjustment
knob to the desired setting.
4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE
It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection
program be performed periodically to ensure
dependable and uniform terminations. Frequency of
inspection depends on:
: The care, amount of use, and handling of the
hand tool,
: The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt,
: The degree of operator skill, and
: Your own established standards.
The hand tool is inspected before being shipped;
however, it is recommended that the tool be inspected
immediately upon its arrival at your facility to ensure
that the tool has not been damaged during shipment.
4.1. Daily Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. Do
NOT use objects that could damage the tool.
2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining rings. See
Figure 5.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a thin coat of any good
SAE 20 oil. Do not oil excessively.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep handles closed
to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the
crimping jaws. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.
4.2. Lubrication
Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces with
SAE 20 oil as follows:
Tools used in daily production -- lubricate daily
Tools used daily (occasional) -- lubricate weekly
Tools used weekly -- lubricate monthly
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.
4.3. Periodic Inspection
1. Hand tool may be immersed (handles partially
closed) in a reliable commercial degreasing
compound (suitable for plastics) to remove
accumulated dirt, grease and foreign matter.
2. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and
then allow them to open freely. If they do not open
quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must
be replaced. See the Section 5.
3. Inspect head assembly for worn, cracked, or
broken jaws. If damage is evident, return it for
evaluation and repair.
4.4. Crimp Height Inspection
This inspection requires the use of micrometer with a
modified anvil as shown in Figure 4.
Crimp height inspection is performed through the use
of a micrometer with a modified anvil, commonly
referred to as a crimp--height comparator.
TE Connectivity 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.
A recommended Crimp Height Comparator is
RS--1019--5LP, Crimp Height Comparator
3--576692--6 is recommended in Great Britain; Crimp
Height Comparator 675836--0 and --1 are
recommended in Germany.
