C.
Terminal Crimping
(cont’d)
6. Be sure lock tang is lifted to allow proper reseating of the terminal.
7. Pull on the wire to pull the terminal completely into the cavity. (A click will be heard and the
terminal should stay in place if the wire is pushed.)
D.
Terminal Crimping Using Alternate Tool J 35123
1. If a spare wire is used, the wire should be pushed through the proper hole in the strain relief (if
used) and the seal (green), and out the other side of the connector prior to stripping.
2. Insert remover tool in front side of connector to release lock tab and push terminal out front of
connector. Pull the terminal and wire out the front of the connector to complete Steps 3 through 7.
3. Push open the terminal holder on the crimper tool J 35123 and insert a terminal into the opening
marked 18–16 (Figure E–2, View C) so that the crimp ends point up. Release the terminal holder.
4. Slightly close the crimping tool (close until one click is heard) but do not start to crimp the
terminal. Place the terminal on the wire so it is in the same position as it will be when pulled back
into the connector. The terminal should be positioned so that the lock tang is on the side of the
cavity which has the notch in the middle (for the remover tool).
5. Insert the wire into the terminal until the wire contacts the holder. (By doing this, the core and
insulation should be properly positioned for the core and insulation crimp wings.)
6. Squeeze the crimper fully until it opens when released.
7. Open the terminal holder and remove the wire and terminal from the crimping tool.
8. Pull on the terminal to assure a tight crimp.
9. Be sure lock tang is lifted to allow proper reseating of the terminal.
10. Pull on the wire to pull the terminal completely into the cavity. (A click will be heard and the
terminal should stay in place if the wire is pushed.)
