4. Insert ground wire under side of skirt that has
been “stretched” to accommodate the ground wire.
Ground wire will then be positioned between the
skirt and the braid.
5. While holding ground wire and cable securely in
place, insert splice lead into parallel splice area.
Make certain that splice lead does not move or
bend the cable center conductor. Parallel splice
area will accept solid or stranded wire sizes 24
through 20 AWG.
3.2. Crimping the Splice Assembly
To crimp the splice assembly, refer to Figure 4 and
proceed as follows:
1. Open the tool’s crimping dies by squeezing the
handles until the ratchet releases and then allow
the handles to open FULLY.
2. Position the splice assembly in the splice and
braid crimping dies, as shown in Figure 4. Small
shoulder on tapered end of splice should butt
against lower splice crimping die.
Make certain that section of splice containing
ground wire faces upper braid die.
