4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES
Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. Inspect
dies at least once a month. Frequency of inspection
may be adjusted to suit your requirements through
experience. Frequency of inspection is dependent
upon:
All dies are thoroughly inspected prior to shipment.
Because of the possibility of damage during
shipment, new dies should be inspected in
accordance with instructions in Section 4 when the
dies are received in your plant.
4.1. Cleaning
4.2. Visual Inspection
Visually inspect die closure surfaces for broken,
pitted, or chipped areas. Although dies may gage
within permissible limits, worn or damaged die closure
surfaces are objectionable and can affect crimp
quality. Examples of possible damage to die closure
surfaces are shown in Figure 6.

!
Do NOT allow deposits of dirt, grease, and
foreign matter to accumulate in the die closure
surfaces. These deposits may cause excessive
wear in the die closure surfaces, thereby affecting
the quality of the crimp. Wipe dies frequently with
a clean, dry cloth.

4.3. Die Closure Inspection
Every die set is inspected for proper die closure
before shipment. However, inspection of die closure
for excessive wear is required periodically.
{
Die closure inspection is accomplished using
GO/NO–GO plug gages. Tyco Electronics neither
manufactures nor sells plug gages. A suggested plug
gage design and the GO/NO–GO dimensions for plug
gage members are given in Figure 7. The following
procedure is recommended for inspection the die
closure.
1. Clean oil and dirt from the die closure surfaces,
and plug gage members.
2. Assemble and adjust the dies to meet the “gage
dimension” indicated in Figure 8, Detail A.
3. With the dies positioned at “gage dimension”,
inspect the die closure using the proper plug gage.
Hold the gage in alignment with the die closure and
carefully insert, without forcing, the GO member.
See Figure 8. GO member must pass completely
through the die closure as shown in Figure 8,
