4. Check that the locating pawl is resting between

the index ribs of the receptacle. See Figure 2. If

not, push the receptacle out of the RIGHT side of

the head, and re–insert it.

After making the test crimp, the wire

sub-assembly retainer can be used (as shown in

Figure 2) to hold and locate the wires during

desired, depress the locating pawl and push the

receptacle out of the RIGHT side of the head.

7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 until all contacts have

been terminated.

5. TERMINATION INSPECTION

Refer to Figure 3, and inspect each termination to

ensure the following:

— the wire is terminated past the lead–in transition

and is about halfway in the contact slot

— the wire is from 1.78 to 2.16 mm [.070 to

.085 in.] beyond the front of the contact beam

— the wire is NOT bottomed in the contact slot

— the contact beams are NOT deformed (if

damage is apparent, replace the contacts in

accordance with the instructions packaged with the

receptacle)

— the wire is NOT nicked or cut in any area other

than the contact slot

— the wires extend beyond the strain–reliefs of the

receptacle

Refer to 114-1031 for detailed application

requirements.
