3.2 Adjusting the crimp height (CH)
After crimping, measure the crimp heights of the crimped terminal with a
micrometer (Contact JST for information on suitable tools) at the centre of the wire
barrel and at the centre of the insulation barrel.
Sectional view of the crimped terminal:
* Set the crimp height of the wire barrel to the specified dimension.
* Determine the crimp height of the insulation barrel in relation to the outer diameter
of the wire insulation. (Refer to item 3.3)
Notes:
1. After adjusting the crimp height, use a trial sample to conduct a tensile test
(refer to item 3.4) in order to examine the strength of the crimped section
before going to automatic crimping operation. Occasionally examine the
strength of the crimped section not only at the beginning but also during
automatic operation to check for any abnormality in crimp height.
2. After the dies are replaced or the crimp height is changed and before trial
crimping, rotate the manual handle to make sure that the dies do not
interfere with each other. (Even when the crimp height is high, the dies may
interfere with each other if the dies are incorrectly aligned. Be sure to place
the dies at the correct positions).
3. When the adjustment is completed, check again that all screws are tight.
