NOTE
i
When using heads that have three (3) die closures,
make certain terminal or splice is placed in correct
closure for the wire size being used.
When crimping flag terminals, make certain
terminal tongue is held against flat of lower jaw until
crimp is started. See Figure 6.
4. Hold terminal or splice in place and activate tool
to complete the crimp.
5. To crimp other half of butt splice, remove it and
reposition uncrimped half in crimping jaws and
follow same procedure used to crimp first half of
splice. If splice cannot be turned, turn tool around.
6. Refer to Section 5 and Figure 8 for terminal or
splice crimp inspection procedure.
5. CRIMP INSPECTION
Inspect crimped terminals and splices by checking the
features described in Figure 8. Use only the
terminations that meet conditions shown in the
“ACCEPT” column. “REJECT” terminations can be
avoided through careful use of instructions in Section
4, and by performing regular tool maintenance as
instructed in Section 6.
6. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURE
TE Connectivity recommends that a maintenance/
inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. Heads
should be inspected at least once a month.

Frequency of inspection may be adjusted to suit your
requirements through experience. Frequency of
inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
head.
2. The type and size of the products crimped.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt.
5. Your own established standards.
Each crimping head is thoroughly inspected before
packaging. New crimping heads should be inspected
in accordance with Section 6 immediately upon its
arrival at your facility.
