5.1. PIDG Terminals andSplices
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 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.
