Crimp Inspection

1 Insulation barrel is in firm contact with wire insulation.

2 Correct color code, dot code, and tool combination.

3 Wire size is within wire range stamped on terminal tongue or

splice.

4 Crimp centered on wire barrel.

5 End of conductor is flush with, or extends beyond end of

terminal wire barrel.

6 End of conductor against wire stop of splice.

NOTE: If conductor is not against wire stop, conductor must

at least be flush with, or extend slightly beyond wire barrel

of splice.

7 Wire insulation does not enter wire barrel.

1 Wire insulation extruded. (Insulation crimp too tight on PIDG

terminals.) See Paragraph 4.3.

2 Wrong dot code and color code combination. See chart,

Figure 2.

3 Wire size is not within wire range stamped on terminal tongue

or splice.

4 Crimp not centered on wire barrel. (Terminal was not butted

against locator. See Figure 3.)

5 End of conductor is not flush with or extending beyond end of

wire barrel. (Check for correct strip length.)

6 Excessive flash or extruded insulation. (Wrong tool, terminal, or

splice combination used, or damaged dies.) See Figure 2.

7 Nicked or missing conductor strands.

8 Wire not fully inserted or wrong strip length.

9 Wire insulation entered wire barrel. Check for correct wire size

or strip length.
