4. Insert the terminal into the crimp tool until the core wings are flush with the anvil on the crimp tool. Be sure that the wings are pointed toward the
crimp tool former and release the spring locator. The locator will hold the terminal in place. Inspect the alignment of the terminal wings with the
crimp tool former. If the terminal wings are wider than the crimp tool former, remove the terminal and bend the terminal wings in slightly.
5. Place stripped wire into terminal.
6. Crimp the new terminal to the wire. If a jam occurs, press the emergency release to open applicator.
Micro 0.64 Size Terminal
The Micro 64 connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping these
terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-64 (M jaw) was developed to crimp Micro 64 terminals. The J-38125-64 crimping tool has a
terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. The J-38125-64 crimping tool is also designed to crimp
both the wire and the insulation at the same time.
After the terminal is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro 64 terminals.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a strain
on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on the added
wire.
1. Cut the wire as close to the damaged terminal as possible.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
