3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Safety
Do not stack product shipping containers so high that the containers buckle or deform.
3.2. Wire Selection and Preparation
The contacts accept stranded wire sizes 26 to 10 AWG with an insulation diameter range given in Figure 2.
Wire strip length shall be as given in Figure 2.
!
CAUTION
Care shall be taken during the stripping operation to ensure the conductor is not nicked, scraped, or cut.
3.3. Crimp Requirements
The contacts must be crimped according to the instructions packaged with the machine.
!
CAUTION
Care shall be taken to ensure that the wire insulation is not cut or broken during the crimping operation and ensure that
the insulation is not crimped into the wire barrel nor the stabilizer barrel.
A. Crimp Height and Width
The wire barrel, insulation barrel, and stabilizer barrel crimp height and width must not exceed the dimensions
given in Figure 3.
B. Stabilizer Barrel
The stabilizer barrel seam may be open only if the contact is crimped to wire sizes 10 or 12 AWG.
The stabilizer barrel can have an F-crimp or “O” crimp.
C. Insulation Stop/Positive Board Stop
The insulation stop/positive board stop must not be terminated; it must remain in the open U shape.
D. Wire Barrel Seam
