Gaging the dies
The following procedure is recommended for inspecting the die closure.
1. Clean oil and dirt from the die closure surfaces and plug gage members.
2. With the crimping dies assembled as described in
Preparing the dies for inspection
, check the
wire barrel crimp die closure using the proper plug gage. Hold the gage in straight alignment with
the die closure and carefully try to insert it without forcing the GO member as shown in Figure 11.
The GO member must pass completely through the die closure as shown in Figure 12.
3. Try to insert the NO GO member. The NO GO member may enter partially, but must not pass
completely through the die closure. See Figure 12.
If the dies meet the GO / NO GO gage conditions, the dies can be considered dimensionally
correct.
If the dies do not conform with the GO / NO GO gage conditions, contact your local TE field
representative.
