Tool Setup and Destructive Inspection Techniques
Techniques to verify proper tool set-up and for further inspection of suspected visual failures require wire
removal. Wire removal shall be done in accordance with the following instructions.
9.2.1 Wire Removal
9.2.2 IDC Terminal Damage
9.2.3 Acceptable Metallic Contact
Contact Retention
Contacts shall be held securely in the insulator and be capable of withstanding a 13.4N (3.0 lb. ) axial
pull. A contact which becomes dislodged at an axial force of less than 8.9N (2.0 lb.) will be considered a
major defect.
All strain relief tabs must be crimped firmly against the wire such that the wire will not be
dislodged with a 8.9N (2 lb.) minimum pull. The wire shall be pulled at 90 degrees to the axis of
the terminated wire, in a direction opposite to the insertion direction. It should be considered a
major defect if either of the contact strain relief tabs have not been crimped over the wire.
There should be no distortion of the metal terminal other than the intended forming of the strain
relief except that the insertion punch may cut into the face of the IDC dimple a maximum of 0.1
millimeter (0.004 inches) during wire insertion.
There shall be no breaks in the wire insulation to expose the center conductor below surface “E”
in Figure 14 , View C. Marks and dents in the insulation caused by the insertion equipment that
do not expose the conductor in this area are permitted.
Force open the wire strain reliefs of the contact and peel the wire away form the strain relief ( up
in Figure 14, View B) and out of the IDC dimples, being careful not to damage the contact.
Examine the IDC dimples. There shall be no visible damage other than that caused by the
intended forming of the strain relief and the normal widening of the IDC gap by the wire except
that the insertion punch may cut into the face of the IDC dimple a maximum of 0.10 millimeters
(0.004 inches) during wire insertion.
The removed wire shall show evidence of metallic contact with all four IDC dimples.
