6. The NO-GO member may enter partially, but

must not pass completely through the die

closure.

7. If the die closures meet the GO NO-GO gage

conditions, the dies may be considered

dimensionally correct. If you find that the die

closures do not conform with the GO NO-GO

gage conditions, contact your local Tyco

Electronics field service representative.

3.4. CERTI-CRIMP Tool Ratchet Inspection

The CERTI-Crimp tool ratchet feature on Tyco

Electronics hand tools should be checked to make

certain that the ratchet does not release prematurely

allowing dies to open before they have fully bottomed.

To check ratchet feature:

1. Make a test crimp using ferrule, shielded wire

made, close handles until the

ratchet is free, however, DO NOT RELAX

PRESSURE ON TOOL HANDLES.

2. If a .001 or smaller shim can be inserted

between the bottoming surfaces of the dies. or if

there is no opening whatever, the ratchet is

considered satisfactory.

3. If the clearance between the bottoming

surfaces of the dies is greater than .001, the dies

are considered as not bottoming. Contact your

local Tyco Electronics field service

representative.
