Inspect the head assembly with special emphasis on checking for worn, cracked, or broken die. If damage
to any part of the head assembly is evident, return the tool to TE for evaluation and repair.
Crimp Height Inspection
This inspection requires the use of a micrometer with a modified anvil as shown in Figure 4.
Proceed as follows:
Refer to the table in Figure 4 and select a contact and a wire (maximum size) for each crimp section listed
in the table.
1. Refer to Section 3, CRIMPING PROCEDURE and crimp the contact(s) accordingly.
2. Using a crimp height comparator, measure the wire barrel height as shown in Figure 4. If the crimp
height conforms to that shown in the table, the tool is considered dimensionally correct. If not, return
the tool to TE for evaluation and repair.
TE does not market crimp height comparators. Refer to Instruction Sheet 408-7424 for detailed
information on obtaining and using a crimp height comparator.
