CAUTION

The wire must avoid being moved after it is inserted. The wire should not be rotated or pulled out after it is fully inserted. This

could lead to an improperly terminated wire.

2. Position the terminal in the stationary die (nest) with the locating shoulder of the tongue resting

against the die, with the crimping head yoke closed and pin fully inserted.

BE SURE to align the terminal tongue using the scribe lines on the nest. See Figure 4.

NOTE

Make sure that the terminal is positioned so that the crimper of the moving die (anvil) will crimp the wire barrel of the terminal.

See Figure 4.

3. Holding the wire in place and fully inserted, activate the power unit to complete the crimp.

4. Remove the crimped terminal from the die assembly.

NOTE

If the terminal sticks in the die after crimping, apply a rocking action to remove it from the die. Initial force required to break

loose or release terminal from the die will be higher with clean or new dies. It is acceptable to add spray dry lubricant to clean

or new die to reduce initial force of removing crimped terminal.

The second (alternate) method is:

NOTE

This method is only slightly different than the first (preferred) method. The difference is when the wire is inserted into the wire

barrel.

1. Position the terminal in the stationary die (nest) with the locating shoulder of the tongue resting

against die, with the crimping head yoke closed and pin fully inserted.

BE SURE to align the terminal tongue using the scribe lines on the nest.

NOTE

Make sure that the terminal is positioned so that the crimper of the moving die (anvil) will crimp the wire barrel of the terminal.

See Figure 4.

2. Jog the power unit to advance the ram to hold the terminal in place. Make sure not to deform the wire

barrel; otherwise, it may be difficult to insert the wire into the wire barrel of the terminal.

3. Insert the properly stripped wire fully into the wire barrel of the terminal. Ensure that there are no

exposed strands.

CAUTION

The wire must avoid being moved after it is inserted. The wire should not be rotated or pulled out after it is fully inserted. This

could lead to an improperly terminated wire.
