Ensure that the wire size stamped on the terminal

or splice corresponds with the wire size stamped

on the stationary die. Crimping head 69099 is

shown in Figures 3 thru 6. The crimping procedure

is identical when using crimping head 69097.

1. Place the terminal or splice in the stationary die

as shown in Figures 4, 5, or 6. For best results,

position the terminal or splice so that the brazed

seam faces the moving die.

2. Activate the power unit so that the crimping die

advances and holds the terminal or splice in place.

Do not deform the terminal or splice barrel.

3. Insert the stripped wire all the way into the

terminal or splice barrel.

4. Activate the power unit to complete the crimp.

5. To crimp the other half of the butt splice, remove

and reposition the uncrimped half in the stationary

die. Insert the wire and crimp the splice.

6. Refer to Section 3, CRIMP INSPECTION and

Figure 7 for crimp inspection information.

If SOLISTRAND terminals or splices stick in the

die after crimping, apply a rocking motion to

remove them from the die.
