Maintenance and Inspection for AMP Hand Crimping Tool AMP Hand Crimping Tool 1. Perform maintenance and inspections as specified by AMP.
Crimp Height Inspection 1. This inspection requires the use of a micrometer with a modified anvil as shown in Figure 33. 2. Refer to Table 3 and select contact and wire (maximum size) for each crimp section listed. 3. Crimp a contact on to the wire according to How to use AMP Hand Crimping Tool procedure. NOTE: SEE TABLE 2 FOR WIRE STRIP LENGTH. 1. STRIPPED WIRE 2. LOCATOR SLOT
4. Using a modified micrometer, measure wire barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 33. If the crimp height conforms to measurement in Table 3 the tool is correct. If not, replace tool.

Insulation Crimp Adjustment The insulation barrel crimp height is regulated by the insulation adjustment lever. To determine the proper setting, test crimp a contact using the setting which approximates the insulation size: 1) small, 2) medium, or 3) large. If the crimped insulation barrel is too tight or too loose, change the setting accordingly. The crimp should hold the insulation firmly without cutting into it.
