4. CRIMP INSPECTION for COPALUM Terminals and

Splices (Figure 5A) and HF- 30 Pin and Socket Contacts

(Figure 5B)

Inspect crimped contacts by checking the features

described in Figure 5A or 5B as applicable. Use only

the terminals, splices, and contacts that meet the

conditions shown in the “ACCEPT” column.

“REJECT” terminals, splices, and contacts can be

avoided through careful use of the tabular information

in Figure 2A or 2B and the instructions Section 3, and

by performing regular die maintenance as instructed

in Section 5.

1

Crimps centered. Crimp may be slightly off center BUT

NOT OFF END OF WIRE BARREL.

2

CMA of wire being used matches wire range specified

for each terminal dash number.

3

Insulation does not enter wire barrel.

4

Wire is visible through inspection hole of butt splice,

and 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.

Crimped off end of splice or terminal.

2

CMA of wire being used does not match wire range

stamped on terminal, splice, or dies.

3

Insulation entered barrel of terminal or splice. CHECK

FOR INCORRECT STRIP LENGTH.

4

Wire not inserted far enough in terminal or 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.
