3. With crimping dies bottomed, check the selected
die closure using the proper plug gage. Hold gage
in straight alignment with the die closure and
carefully try to insert, without forcing, the GO
element. See Figure 6. The GO element must pass
completely through the die closure. See Figure 6.
4. Try to insert the NO--GO element. The NO--GO
element may enter partially, but must not pass
completely through the die closure. See Figure 6.
5. If all three closures meet the plug gage
conditions, The die closures may be considered
dimensionally correct. If you find that the die
closures do not conform to the gage conditions,
contact your local Tyco Electronics Representative.
D. CERTI- CRIMP Ratchet Inspection
Check the CERTI--CRIMP Hand Crimping Tool
Ratchet Control to ensure that ratchet does not
release prematurely, allowing dies to open before they
have fully bottomed. Obtain a 0.025 mm [.001 in.]
shim that is suitable for checking the clearance
between the bottoming surfaces of the dies. To check
the ratchet feature:
1. Thoroughly clean bottoming surfaces of dies.
2. Position the terminal and wire between the
crimping jaws, as described in Section 3,
CRIMPING PROCEDURE.
3. Hold the wire in place and squeeze the handles
until the CERTI--CRIMP ratchet releases. Hold the
handles in this position, maintaining just enough
force to keep the jaws closed.
4. Check the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the crimping jaws. If the clearance is
0.025 mm [.001 in.] or less, the ratchet is
satisfactory. If clearance exceeds 0.025 mm
[.001 in.], the ratchet is out of adjustment and
must be repaired. See Section 6, REPLACEMENT
AND REPAIR.
