Operation
Wire Stripping
Make sure stripped length of the wire is in the range of 1.4 to 1.90 mm.
Be careful not to make cuts of nicks in the strands during the stripping operation.
The use of improperly prepared wire may cause insufficient crimp performance.
Terminal Loading
(1)
First verifying that the carrier strip is cut off from the left side of the first terminal being
inserted, slide the pre-cut terminal strip beneath the terminal guide cover, positioning the strip
such that the insulation tines of the terminal are under the cover and the conductor tines are on
the outside of the cover.
(2)
You will notice that the terminal is located in the proper crimping area of the tooling when the
“ball-detent” feature of the tool restricts the removal of the strip.
