Checking the crimp result
To make sure the tool has made the required deformation for the specific cable connector, securing mechanical
strength and first-rate electrical contact properties, the crimp should be inspected.
For
Cu-terminals and -connectors
, the following applies:
•
The check of the gauge measure N is to be made on the hexagon sides that have pattern
stampings from the press dies.
•
Check with a slide calliper on one or both sides of the stamp and compare with the N-gauge
measure in the table below.
•
Should the test result exceed the N-gauge measure in the table below after properly performed
crimping, contact nearest authorized Elpress Service shop.
C-sleeves
from Cu should be checked with regard to the size ”h”. The ”h”-size is best measured with a slide
calliper on the maximum height of the crimped oval. The measurement should be compared with those in the
table on the next page.
Should the ”h”-size be exceeded following a properly performed crimping operation, contact nearest authorized
Elpress Service shop.
IMPORTANT!
When processing C-sleeves, there must always be conductor strands outside the outer
edges of the C-sleeve. The minimum length of the strands sticking out must correspond to
at least 60 % of the diameter of the conductor.
