Butt Splice
1. Position the butt splice so the crimp area of the die is centered within the crimp marks of the splice.
NOTE
The offset cavity of the die must always face the center of the splice, and the wire stops on the splice must always face either
die (see Figure 6).
2. Activate the power unit so the moving die advances and holds the splice in place without deforming
the wire barrel.
3. Insert the first wire until it bottoms in the splice. The ends of the wires must be visible through the
sight hole.
4. Activate power unit to complete the first crimp.
5. Reposition the splice as shown in Figure 6 and perform the 2^nd crimp.
Figure 6
6. Before making the 3^rd and 4^th crimps, it will be necessary to turn either the splice, the crimping head,
or the dies, around. Then, position the splice in the stationary die as shown in Figure 6 and repeat
Steps 2 and 3.
7. Activate the power unit and complete the 3^rd crimp.
8. Reposition the splice as shown in Figure 6 and complete the 4^th crimp.
NOTE
If the splice sticks in the die after crimping, apply a rocking action to break it free.
9. Remove the butt splice from the dies and inspect the crimp in accordance with Section 5; CRIMP
INSPECTION.
