4 Crimping
For strip length and specific crimp information for each terminal being crimped using this die assembly, refer to
the application specification listed in Table 1.
CAUTION
If the tool holder is equipped with a crimp height (fine adjust) adjustment, you can avoid damage to the terminator, modular
tool holder, or die assembly by starting at setting A on the crimp disc and incrementally adjusting to the specified crimp height.
If the machine has crimp height/shut height adjustment, refer to the applicable 412 series customer manual for guidance.
1. Assemble the ferrule to the prepared wire assembly according to the 114 series application
specification listed in Table 1.
2. Open the wire clamp by pressing down on the lever (Figure 3).
3. Insert the prepared assembly into the crimping die (Figure 4).

4. Refer to Figure 5 and verify that:
The outer ferrule butts against the ferrule locator.
The crimped contact is inserted in the terminal block (stopper).
The latch on the contact body is in the pocket of the terminal stopper.
NOTE
The crimped contact must fit within the identified surfaces to ensure proper spacing and orientation (see Figure 4).

5 Inspecting the crimp
For crimp inspection information, refer to the 114 series application specification listed in Table 1 for the ferrule
being crimped.
6 Maintenance and inspection
Each die assembly is inspected before shipment. When it arrives at your facility, inspect it immediately to
ensure that it was not damaged during shipping.
6.1 Daily maintenance
Make each operator aware of (and responsible for) the following daily maintenance requirements:
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean, soft brush or soft, lint-free cloth. Do not
use objects that could damage the dies or tool.
When the dies are not in use, store them in a clean, dry area.
6.2 Periodic inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies or be supplied to personnel responsible for the dies. Perform at least one
inspection per month. Base your inspection frequency on the amount of use, ambient working conditions,
operator training and skill, and established company standards. Perform the inspection as follows:
1. Remove all contaminants with a clean, soft brush or soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use objects that could
damage the dies.
2. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped, cracked, worn, or broken areas.
3. If damage or abnormal wear is evident, replace the tool or dies. Refer to section Error! Reference s
ource not found., Error! Reference source not found..
