The single-strand insulation is not enclosed by the shackle because it was inserted incorrectly during the crimping procedure.
The crimped area of the single-strand insulation is damaged because the wrong die set or wrong single-strand insulation was used.
3a Check crimped connection without single-strand insulation (ensure that leads and insulation are of correct length).
Correct crimped connection (A):
Correct length of insulation is enclosed by the shackle (1).
Wires (3) are the correct length in the tab (2).
Incorrect crimped connection (B):
Insulation is too short and is not correctly enclosed by the tab (1).
Therefore insulation cannot withstand the required tensile load.
Incorrect crimped connection (C, D):
Wire strands (3) are too long.
Leads (3) are too short.
3b Check crimped connection with single-strand insulation (for correct length and distance of leads and insulation, as well as position and condition
of seal).
Correct crimped connection (A):
Insulation and wires are of the correct length in the shackles. Correct distance between the single-strand insulation and the end of the insulation.
