 Pull force test samples should not have the wire insulation crimped. 

 

Note:

 

An occasional, destructive, pull force test with the terminal and wire crimped should be performed to check hand tool 
crimp.  The pull force value must exceed the terminal’s minimum pull force specifications listed above.  If values do 
not exceed the minimum pull force when all instructions are followed then a new tool is required.
