5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. Though
recommendations call for at least one inspection a
month, frequency of inspection depends on:
The die assembly is inspected before being shipped;
however, Tyco Electronics recommends that the die
assembly be inspected in accordance with Paragraph
5.2.B, Gaging the Crimping Chamber, immediately
upon arrival at your facility to ensure that the dies
have not been damaged during shipment.

5.2. Periodic Inspection
A. Visual Inspection
Inspect die closure surfaces of the dies for worn,
cracked, or broken areas. If damage is evident, return
the die assembly to Tyco Electronics for evaluation
and repair. See Section 6, REPLACEMENT.
B. Gaging the Crimping Chamber
This inspection requires the use of a plug gage
conforming to the dimensions shown in Figure 5. Tyco
Electronics does not manufacture or market these
gages. To gage the crimping chamber, proceed as
follows:
If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage
inspection, the die assembly is considered
dimensionally correct. If not, the die assembly must
be replaced before returning it to service. See Section
6, REPLACEMENT.
6. REPLACEMENT
If the die assembly is damaged or worn, it must be
replaced. Order replacement die assemblies through
your Tyco Electronics Representative, or call
1–800–526–5142, or send a facsimile of your
purchase order to 1–717–986–7605, or write to:
1. Remove accumulated dirt, grease, and foreign
matter from die closure surfaces of the dies. Wipe
dies frequently with a soft, lint–free cloth. Do NOT
use hard or abrasive objects that could damage
the dies.
2. When die assembly is not in use, mate and
store the dies in a clean, dry area.
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping
chamber and plug gage.
2. Mate and adjust dies to meet the gage
dimension shown in Figure 6.
3. With dies positioned at the gage dimension,
align the GO element with the crimping chamber
(opposite side of part number markings). Push the
element (without forcing it) straight into the
chamber. The GO element must pass completely
through the first three laminations.
4. Align and try to insert the NO–GO element with
the same crimping chamber. The NO–GO element
may start entry but must not pass completely
through the crimping chamber.
