1

Crimps centered, Crimps may be off center BUT NOT OFF

END OF WIRE BARREL.

2

AWG wire size being used matches wire size stamped on

terminal or splice and head of crimping tool.

3

Insulation does not enter wire barrel.

4

Wire is visible through inspection hole of butt splices.

Wire is flush with or extends slightly beyond end of terminal

wire barrel.

5

On parallel splices, bare wire ends must be flush with or

extend slightly beyond end of barrel.

6

Wire size embossed on crimped wire barrel matches wire

size stamped on terminal or splice.

1

Crimped off end of splice or terminal wire barrel.

2

AWG wire size being used does not match wire size stamped

on terminal or splice and head of crimping tool.

3

Insulation entered barrel of terminal or splice. CHECK FOR

INCORRECT STRIP LENGTH.

4

Wire not inserted far enough in terminal of splice. End of wire

must be visible through inspection hole of butt splices, and

be flush with or extend slightly beyond end of terminal wire

barrel or parallel splice.

5

Excessive "flash" on terminal or splice indicates wrong wire,

terminal or splice, or tooling combination was used.

6

Nicked or missing strands.

7

Wire size embossed on crimped wire barrel does not match

wire size stamped on terminal or splice.

Figure 5

5. Close handles until terminal is held firmly in

place. Do NOT deform terminal wire barrel.

6. Insert stripped wire into terminal until end of wire

is at least flush with or extended slightly beyond

end of wire barrel. See Figures 3A or 3B.

7. To complete the crimp, close the handles until

the CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet

control releases. Handles can now be opened and

the crimped terminal may be removed.

8. Refer to Section 3 and Figure 5 for terminal

crimp inspection procedures.

Splices

9. Center one half of the butt splice in nest as

shown in Figure 4A or 4B. For best results, when

brazed seam on splice is visible, position the seam

toward the indenter.

10. Center parallel splice in nest as shown in

Figure 4C. Be sure brazed seam faces indenter.

11. Close handles until splice is held firmly in place.

Do NOT deform splice wire barrel.

12. Insert stripped wire into butt splices until end of

wire butts against wire stop in splice as shown in

Figure 4A or 4B. Insert stripped wire into parallel
