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.
