Operation
Wire Stripping
Verify that the stripped length of the wire is within the range of 1.65mm +/-0.25.
•
Be careful not to make cuts or nicks in the strands during the stripping operation.
•
The use of improperly prepared wire may cause insufficient crimp performance.
Terminal Loading
1.
The reeled product should be cut into strips of 25mm to 50mm in length.
•
This tool is not designed to terminate loose-piece terminals.
2.
Cut the carrier strip even with the left side of the first terminal being inserted. Slide the pre-
cut terminal strip beneath the terminal guide cover, positioning the strip such that the
insulation tines of the terminal are under the cover and the conductor tines are on the outside
of the cover (see picture below).
3.
The terminal is located in the proper crimping area of the tooling when the “ball-detent”
feature of the tool locates the feed hole of the terminal carrier strip and restricts the side-to-side
movement of the strip.
•
The strip may be removed when the handles are fully open.
