SCOPE
Products: VibraKrimp™ Quick Disconnect Terminals 18-22 AWG.
Testing
Mechanical
The tensile test, or pull test, is a means of evaluating the mechanical properties of the crimped connections.
The following chart shows the UL and government specifications (MIL-T-7928) for various wire sizes. The
tensile strength is shown in pounds. It indicates the minimum acceptable force to break or separate the terminal
from the conductor.

Tool Calibration
To recalibrate this applicator, make sure the power is completely shut off on the press.
The Mini-Mac applicator must be properly installed in the press.
Crimping dies must be properly installed in the Mini-Mac applicator.
The recommended method of measuring the crimp height of the conductor dies is the soft metal slug method,
(See Figure 4).
1. The slug must have a diameter 0.51mm (.020”) larger than the “X” No Go dimension before crimping.
2. Place the soft metal slug (solder) into the nest of the bottom die and crimp (by hand cycling the press) similar
to a terminal. The crimp height can be measured with a blade type micrometer or dial caliper, (Dimension “X”).
3. Adjustment of the crimp height can be accomplished by indexing the conductor cam. The letter “A” gives the
loosest position and “K” gives the tightest position. A total adjustment of 0.50mm (.020”) can be achieved by
adjusting the conductor cam.
Note: If the crimp height is too tight on the setting “A”, check the shut height of the press. See the Industrial
Mini-Mac Applicator Manual Section 2.1 for adjustments.
