The discrete wires must be stripped to the dimension provided in Figure 3.

Do not nick, scrape, or cut the wire conductor during the stripping operation.

3.5. Crimped Contact Requirements

Locate the contact to be crimped in the appropriate tooling according to the instructions packaged with that

tooling. Detailed instructions covering the placement of contacts in the tooling and the use of such tooling is

packaged with each tool.

Terminate the contact according to the directions shipped with the appropriate tooling. See Section 5,

TOOLING.

Wire insulation shall NOT be cut or broken during the crimping operation, nor shall the insulation be crimped into the

contact wire barrel. Reasonable care should be taken by tooling operators to provide undamaged wire terminations.

A typical receptacle contact as it should appear after crimping is shown in Figure 4. These requirements apply

equally to the pin contact.

A. Crimp Height

The crimp applied to the wire portion of the contact is the most compressed area and is most critical in

ensuring optimum electrical and mechanical performance of the crimped contact. The crimp height must

be within the dimensions provided in Figure 3.
