408-9442 3 of 4 rev b 5.1. daily maintenance it is recommended that each operator of the dies be made aware of-and responsible for-the following steps of daily maintenance: 1. remove dust, dirt, and other contaminants with a clea n brush, or a soft, lint-free cloth. do not use objects that could damage the dies. 2. make certain the dies ar e protected with a thin coat of any good sae 20 mo tor oil. do not oil excessively. 3. when the dies are not in use, mate them and stor e in a clean, dry area. 5.2. periodic inspection regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. a record of scheduled inspections should remain with the dies and/or be supplied to supervisory personnel responsible for the dies. though recommendations call for at least one inspection a month, the inspection frequency should be based on the amount of use, ambient working conditions, operator training and skill, and established company standards. these inspections should be performed in the following sequence: a. visual inspection 1. remove all lubrication and accumulated film by immersing the dies in a suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic material. 2. make sure all die components are in place. if r eplacements are necessary, refer to the replacement parts listed in figure 5. 3. check components for wear. remove and r eplace worn components. 4. inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped, cra cked, worn, or broken areas. if damage is evident, the dies must be repaired before returning them to service (see se ction 6, replacement and repair). b. crimp height inspection crimp height inspection is performed through the use of a micrometer with a modified anvil, commonly referred to as a crimp height comparator. te does not market crimp height comparators. refer to instruction sheet 408-7424 for detailed information on obtaining and using a crimp height comparator. proceed as follows: 1. refer to the table in figure 2 and select a contact and a wire for each crimp section. use the maximum size wire for each crimp section. 2. refer to section 4, crimping procedure, and crimp the contacts accordingly. 3. using a crimp height comparator, measure the wire barrel crimp height as shown in figure 4. if the crimp height conforms to that height, the tool is considered dimensionally correct. if not, the tool must be returned to amp for evaluation and repair. see section 6, replacement and repair. position point on center of wire barrel opposite seam modified anvil ?a? 0.05 [.002] part number contact loose piece wire size (a wg) crimp section wire s ize marking dim. a 350390 350391 10 10 2.41 [.095] 14 14-12 1.85 [.073] 12 14-12 1.91 [.075] figure 4 6. replacement and repair replaceable parts are listed in figure 5. parts other than those listed in figure 5 should be replaced by te to ensure quality and relia bility of the tool. order replacement parts through your te representative, or call 1-800-526-5142, or send a facsimile of your purchase order to 1-717-986-7605, or write to: customer service (038-035) ? tyco electronics corporation ? po box 3608 ? harrisburg pa 17105-3608 for customer repair service, call 1-800-526-5136. 7. revision summary since the previous version of this document, the following changes were made: ? changed wording in the introductory paragraph of section 4 for clarity. ? updated crimp height comparator information in paragraph 5.2. ? updated document to corporate requirements
