Terminal Terminology
A.1 Conductor Brush and Terminal Position
A-1
Optimum crimp setup
The insulation edge should be centered in the middle of the transition area.
The conductor brush should extend past the conductor crimp and not extend
into the contact area.
A-2
Insulation under conductor crimp
(with a good conductor brush length)
Cause:
Strip length too short.
Solution:
Verify strip length specification and adjust as necessary.
A-3
Insulation under conductor crimp,
(with a long conductor brush length)
Cause:
Wire stop position incorrect.
Solution:
Adjust wire stop to center the insulation in the transition area.
A-4
Insulation under conductor crimp,
(with a short or no conductor brush length)
Cause:
1) Strip length too short and
2) Wire stop position incorrect.
Solution:
1) Verify strip length specification and adjust as necessary.
2) Adjust wire stop to center the insulation in the transition area.
A-5
Insulation edge centered in the transition area,
(with the conductor brush too long)
Cause:
1) Strip length too long.
2) Irregular wire cut-off or wire strands pulled from insulation bundle.
Solution:
1) Verify strip length specification and adjust as necessary.
Readjust wire stop for bench applications.
2) Check for worn stripping blades
A-6
Insulation edge under insulation grip,
(with the conductor brush too short)
Cause:
Strip length too long.
Solution:
Verify strip length specification and adjust as necessary.
Readjust wire stop for bench applications.
