Terminal Inspection - FCI HT-0102 Manual

While grasping the lever and the handle
3.
portion of the frame, insert a wire so that the end of the
insulation is centered between the wire barrel and the
insulation barrel of the terminal (see Figure 3). An
alternate method is to position the end of the insulation
against the tonker (see Figure 13, item no. 2) which
protrudes from between the crimpers (3 & 4). Then
close the hand tool lever completely. This will crimp
the terminal to the wire(s).

3. Release the lever to open the hand tool and remove
the crimped terminal by lightly pulling straight out
on the wire.
CAUTION
The crimp height for this hand tool was factory
adjusted. Any changes to this crimp height
adjustment could cause a defective crimp or
damage to the tooling.
B. Terminal Inspection
The crimped terminal should be inspected to ensure that
the tooling is correctly aligned and that the wire was
correctly inserted. Make the following visual checks
(see Figure 4).
NOTE
If inspection of the crimped terminal reveals any
defects, the terminal has not been properly crimped
and should be discarded.
•
Check that all wire strands were crimped within
the wire barrel.

•
Check that the end of the wire insulation lies
between the insulation and the wire barrel.
•
Check that the bellmouth(s) were formed correctly.
•
Check that the wire barrel seam is even and tightly
closed.
Figure 4. Correctly Crimped Terminal
Next, obtain a crimp height micrometer and measure
the areas of the terminal shown in Figure 5. If the
crimp heights do not meet the specifications listed in
Section I, Paragraph D, refer to Section V for proper
adjustment procedures.
