5. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION

This inspection requires the use of a plug gage

conforming to the dimensions provided in Figure 4.

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 crimping

chambers and plug gages.

NOTE: The die anvil must be rotated 180° to gage

the opposite nest.

2. Close the tool handles until it is evident that the

dies have bottomed; hold the tool in this position.

Do NOT force the dies beyond initial contact.

3. Carefully insert GO element straight into the

corresponding crimping chamber; do not force it.

The GO element must pass completely through the

crimping chamber. See Figure 4.

4. In the same manner, try to insert the NO–GO

element into the same crimping chamber. The

NO–GO element may start entry, but must not

pass completely through the crimping chamber.

If the crimping chambers conform to the gage

inspection, they are considered dimensionally correct,

and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of any

good SAE 20 motor oil. If not, the tool must be

adjusted according to Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT

ADJUSTMENT.

For additional information concerning the use of plug

gages, refer to Instruction Sheet 408–7424.

1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet

adjustment wheel.

2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel

from the front of the tool.

3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a

tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment

wheel

counterclockwise to a higher–numbered

setting. If a looser crimp is required, rotate the

adjustment wheel

clockwise to a lower–numbered

setting.

4. Re–assemble the lockscrew.
