Conductor Crimp Cross Section
Cross Section Close to Conductor Crimp Center Observations
2C_16_33214.bmp
 
Evaluation based on IPC A-620 sec. 5.1.1  
Based on observations, classify this insulation crimp cross section as acceptable, process issue, or design issue.
Check Points: Classification
Compression: No round strands.  All strands are deformed. Acceptable
The crimp is symmetrical.  The distance between wing tips is not greater than the material thickness of the terminal.  Strands are evenly distributed. Process Issue
No air gaps in the conductor crimp. Acceptable
No cracks or breaks in the terminal material (normally linked to excessive extrusion.) Acceptable
Wings Locked.  No gaps between wings. Acceptable
Wing tips do not contact bottom or side of terminal. Acceptable
