5. INSULATION CRIMP ADJUSTMENT
5.1. PIDG Terminals and Splices
NOTE
i
PIDG terminals and splices feature a wire
"insulation grip".
Each tool has four insulation crimp positions. See
Figure 1.
1. Loosen insulation adjustment locking screw (see
top of tool) and turn indicator to Position 4.
2. Place terminal or splice in tool dies.
3. Insert UNSTRIPPED wire into ONLY the
insulation barrel (see Figure 3 or Figure 4) of
terminal or splice.
4. Perform a crimp (Section 4). Remove crimped
terminal or splice and check insulation grip as
follows: Bend the wire back and forth once. Terminal
or splice should retain grip on wire insulation.
5. If wire pulls out, set insulation adjustment
indicator to next tighter position - Position 3.
