D. CERTI- CRIMP Hand Crimping Tool Ratchet
Control Inspection
The CERTI--CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control
feature on TE hand tools should be checked to
ensure that the ratchet does not release prematurely,
allowing the dies to open before they have fully
bottomed. Obtain a 0.025 mm [.001 in.] shim that is
suitable for checking the clearance between the
bottoming surfaces of the crimping dies. Proceed as
follows:
1. Select the maximum size wire for the tool and a
terminal.
2. Position the terminal and wire between the
crimping dies as described in Section 3.
3. Hold wire in place and squeeze tool handles
until the CERTI--CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet
control releases. Hold the handles in this position,
maintaining just enough tension to keep the dies
closed.
4. Check the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the crimping dies with the 0.025 mm
[.001 in.] shim. If the clearance is 0.025 mm
[.001 in.] or less, the ratchet is considered
satisfactory. If the clearance exceeds 0.025 mm
[.001 in.], the ratchet is out of adjustment and must
be repaired.
