with or extended slightly beyond end of wire barrel.
Crimped off end of splice or terminal wire barrel.
Wire size does not match wire size or color range on
splice or tool.
Wire insulation entered wire barrel of terminal or
splice. CHECK FOR INCORRECT STRIP LENGTH.
Wire not inserted far enough in terminal or splice. End

3. Inspect head assembly for worn, cracked, or
broken jaws. Refer to Figure 5. If damage is
evident, return the tool to Tyco Electronics for
evaluation and repair. See Section 6,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
5.4. Gaging the Crimping Chambers
This inspection requires the use of a plug gage
conforming to the dimensions provided in Figure 6.
Tyco Electronics does not manufacture or market
these gages. To gage the crimping chambers,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping
chambers and plug gage.
2. Close the tool handles until it is evident that the
jaws have bottomed; then hold in this position. Do
NOT force the jaws beyond initial contact.
3. Align the GO element with the crimping
chamber. Push element straight into the crimping
chamber without using force. The GO element
must pass completely through the crimping
chamber.
