B. Third and Fourth Crimps (Figure 4)
1. Position the splice into position for the third
crimp.
2. Close the tool handles until the splice is held in
place. Do not deform the wire barrel.
3. Insert a properly stripped wire into the second
end of the splice until the wire bottoms against the
splice wire stop.
4. Close the tool handles until they bottom to
complete the crimp.
5. Move the splice into position for the fourth
crimp.
6. Close the tool handles to complete the crimp.
Do not overlap the crimps.
7. Refer to Section 5 and Figure 7 for terminal and
splice crimp inspection procedure.
3.6. Performing a Dual Crimp on SOLISTRAND
Parallel Splices with Wire Size 2 and 1/0 (Figure 4)
NOTE
i
For best results, position the brazed seam of the
terminal against one of the “flats” of the dies, as
shown in Figure 4. Make sure that the crimps do
not overlap or go off either end of the wire barrel.
Make sure that the wire size being used, the wire
size stamped on the terminal, and the wire size
embossed on the dies all correspond.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE FOR CABLE MAKER
BATTERY TERMINALS
4.1. Die Setting
Proper die setting is determined by the part number of
the terminal being crimped and by the number
displayed in “area 2” of the terminal, as shown in
Figure 5.
1. Open the tool handles.
2. Depress the spring--loaded index pins.
3. Rotate the dies until the embossed wire size
numbers in each die crimp closure match the
number displayed in “area 2” of the terminal.
4. Release the indexing pins, making sure that the
die locator pins return fully and are visible at the
points indicated in Figure 1.
4.2. Wire Preparation and Loading
1. Strip the wires to the dimensions indicated in
Figure 5.
NOTE
i
Do not use wires with nicked or missing strands.
2. Select the proper terminal number for the wire
diameter being used. The diameter of the stripped
wire must fall within the wire diameter range of the
terminal being used. Refer to Figure 5.
A. First Crimp
1. Position the end of the splice wire barrel in the
dies.
2. Close the tool handles until the splice is held in
place. Do not deform the wire barrel.
3. Insert the properly stripped wire into the wire
barrel until the ends of the conductors are flush
with or extended slightly beyond the end of the
wire barrel.
4. Close the tool handles until they bottom to
complete the crimp.
B. Second Crimp
1. Move the splice into position for the second
crimp and close the tool handles to complete the
crimp. Do not overlap the crimps.
2. Refer to Section 5 and Figure 7 for terminal and
splice crimp inspection procedure.
4.3. Crimping Procedure for Straight Terminals
(Figure 6)
A. First Crimp
1. Position the end of the terminal wire barrel in the
dies.
2. Close the tool handles until the terminal is held
in place. Do not deform the wire barrel.
3. Insert the properly stripped wire into the wire
barrel until the wire bottoms.
4. Close the tool handles until the dies bottom to
complete the crimp.
B. Second Crimp
1. Move the terminal into position for the second
crimp, then close the handles to complete the
crimp.
2. Refer to Section 5 and Figure 8 for terminal
crimp inspection procedure.
