6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the wire stop. See Figure 5.
7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release the handles to open the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
8. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal
locator by pulling on the wire.
9. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper
crimp location.
10. On some large O.D. wires, it may not be possible
to insert the wire with the tool partially closed.
Those wires should be inserted with the hand
tool in the open position. Insert the wire above
the terminal in the punch and against the wire
stop then close the tool. See Figure 6.
Note:
A crimp height chart is provided with this manual as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands,
insulation diameters, and durometers available, actual crimp height measurements may very slightly. An
occasional, destructive, pull force test should be performed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value Must exceed
the Minimum pull force specifications listed.
