4.3. Insulation Crimp Adjustment

A. PIDG Terminals and Splices

PIDG terminals and splices contain a wire

insulation “grip.”

The insulation crimping section of the crimping head

has three positions: 1—Tight; 2—Medium; and

3—Loose.

1. Insert insulation adjustment pins in Position 3.

SeeFigure5.

Always place both adjustment pins in the same

position. See Figure 5.

2. Place terminal or splice in crimping jaws, as

shown in Figures 3 and 4.

3. Insert unstripped wire only into the

insulation barrel of the terminal or splice. See

Figures 3 and 4.

4. Crimp terminal or splice as described in

Paragraph 4.1 or 4.2.

5. Remove terminal or splice. Bend wire forward

and then backward. The terminal or splice should

retain its grip on the wire. If the wire pulls out,

reposition the insulation adjustment pins in the next

tighter position and repeat crimping procedure.

6. Repeat adjustment as necessary until desired

insulation grip is obtained. DO NOT use a tighter

setting than required.
