D. CERTI-CRIMP Hand Crimping Tool Ratchet Control 

Inspection

The CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control 
feature should be checked to ensure that the ratchet 
does not release prematurely, allowing the jaws 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 
crimping jaws. Proceed as follows:

1. Position the connector and wire between the 
crimping jaws, as described in Section 3, 
ASSEMBLY AND CRIMPING PROCEDURES.

2. Hold the wire in place and squeeze the handles 
until the CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet 
control releases. Hold the handles in this position, 
maintaining just enough tension to keep the jaws 
closed.

3. 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
