Wire Size
1 Crimps centered, Crimps may be off center BUT NOT OFF
END OF WIRE BARREL.
2 AWG wire size being used matches wire size stamped on
terminal or splice and head of crimping tool.
3 Insulation does not enter wire barrel.
1 Crimped off end of splice or terminal wire barrel.
2 AWG wire size being used does not match wire size stamped
on terminal or splice and head of crimping tool.
3 Insulation entered barrel of terminal or splice. CHECK FOR
INCORRECT STRIP LENGTH.
4 Wire is visible through inspection hole of butt splices.
Wire is flush with or extends slightly beyond end of terminal
wire barrel.
5 On parallel splices, bare wire ends must be flush with or
extend slightly beyond end of barrel.
6 Wire size embossed on crimped wire barrel matches wire
size stamped on terminal or splice.
4 Wire not inserted far enough in terminal of 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.
5 Excessive "flash" on terminal or splice indicates wrong wire,
terminal or splice, or tooling combination was used.
6 Nicked or missing strands.
7 Wire size embossed on crimped wire barrel does not match
wire size stamped on terminal or splice.

5. Close handles until terminal is held firmly in
place. Do NOT deform terminal wire barrel.
6. Insert stripped wire into terminal until end of wire
is at least flush with or extended slightly beyond
end of wire barrel. See Figures 3A or 3B.
Splices
9. Center one half of the butt splice in nest as
shown in Figure 4A or 4B. For best results, when
brazed seam on splice is visible, position the seam
toward the indenter.
7. To complete the crimp, close the handles until
the CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet
control releases. Handles can now be opened and
the crimped terminal may be removed.
8. Refer to Section 3 and Figure 5 for terminal
crimp inspection procedures.
10. Center parallel splice in nest as shown in
Figure 4C. Be sure brazed seam faces indenter.
11. Close handles until splice is held firmly in place.
Do NOT deform splice wire barrel.
12. Insert stripped wire into butt splices until end of
wire butts against wire stop in splice as shown in
Figure 4A or 4B. Insert stripped wire into parallel
