6. Inspect the crimped receptacle to ensure that
the crimp is centered on the wire barrel and the
wire is fully inserted. Check the receptacle crimp
height as described in Section 5. If necessary,
adjust the crimp height as described in Section 6.
5. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
This inspection requires the use of a plug gage
conforming to the dimensions provided in Figure 4.
TE does not manufacture or market these gages. To
gage the crimping chambers, proceed as follows:
Refer to 408--7424 for information about the use
and ordering of plug gages and crimp--height
comparators.
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from crimping
chambers and plug gages.
2. Close the tool handles until it is evident that the
dies have bottomed; hold the tool in this position.
Do NOT force the dies beyond initial contact.
3. Carefully insert GO element straight into the
corresponding crimping chamber; do not force it.
The GO element must pass completely through the
crimping chamber. See Figure 4.
4. In the same manner, try to insert the NO--GO
element into the same crimping chamber. The
NO--GO element may start entry, but must not
pass completely through the crimping chamber.
If the crimping chambers conform to the gage
inspection, they are considered dimensionally correct,
and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of any
good SAE 20 motor oil. If not, the tool must be
adjusted according to Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT.
