“ACCEPT” column. “REJECT” terminals and splices
can be avoided through careful use of instructions in
Section 2, INSTRUCTIONS, and by performing

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 crimping dies.
3 _{Wire insulation does not enter wire barrel.}
Wire is visible through inspection hole or butt splices.
4 _{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.
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 crimping dies.
3
Wire insulation entered barrel of terminal or splice.
CHECK FOR INCORRECT STRIP LENGTH.
4 ^{Wire not inserted far enough in terminal or 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
combination of wire, terminal, splice, or tooling.
6 Nicked or missing conductor strands.
