5. CRIMP INSPECTION
Inspect crimped terminals and splices by checking the
features described in Figure 5. Use only terminals
and splices that meet the conditions shown in the
“ACCEPT” column of Figure 5. Unacceptable
terminals and splices, as depicted in the “REJECT”
column of Figure 5 can be avoided through careful
use of the instructions in Section 4 and by performing
regularly scheduled die maintenance as described in
Section 6.
