5. Depress trigger (or squeeze cam handle) of pistol
grip handle assembly and hold it until inserter
bottoms or ratchet releases.
6. Release trigger (or cam handle). The inserter will
retract and the feed slide will automatically advance
connector to next contact position.
NOTE
i
The index pawl will move up and down as the
connector is automatically advanced through the
head. However, if movement is obstructed, or if
desirable, the index pawl can be depressed and the
connector moved manually out the RIGHT side of
the head.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 until all contacts have
been terminated.
8. Inspect each termination according to the
procedures in Section 5, INSPECTION.
5. INSPECTION (Figure 2)
Inspect each termination to ensure the following:
1. Conductor is terminated past the lead-in
transition and about halfway in the contact slot.
2. Insulation is 2.03 to 2.54 mm [.080 to .100 in.]
beyond the front contact beam.
3. Wire is NOT bottomed in contact slot.
4. Contact beams are NOT deformed. If damage is
apparent, replace contacts in accordance with the
instructions packaged with the connector.
5. Insulation of wire is NOT nicked or cut in any area
other than the two wire slots.
6. Wire extends below the strain-relief features of
connector.
6. TOOL CERTIFICATION
The procedures described in the following text have
been established to ensure quality and reliability of TE
terminating tools. A brief check should be made daily,
and a more detailed inspection should be scheduled
by your quality control group.
6.1. Daily Maintenance
Each operator should be aware of, and responsible for
the following:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or soft, lint-free cloth. Do NOT
use objects that could damage the tool.
2. Make sure all components are in place and
properly secured. (If NOT, return the tool to your
supervisor.)
3. Actuate handle assembly to ensure mechanisms
inside head move smoothly.
6.2. Quality Control Maintenance
Regular inspections should be performed by your
quality control personnel with a record of quality
control inspections remaining with the personnel
responsible for the tool. TE recommends one
inspection a month; however, operation training and
skill, amount of use, ambient working conditions, and
your company’s established standards are all factors
in establishing frequency of inspections.
These inspections should be done in the following
sequence:
1. Remove any accumulated film with a suitable
cleaning agent that will NOT affect plastic material.
