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.
