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 and 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.
1. The Mini-Mac applicator must be properly installed in the press.
2. Crimping dies must be properly installed in the Mini-Mac applicator.
3. The recommended method of measuring the crimp height of the
conductor dies is the soft metal slug method, (See Figure 2).
4. The slug must have a diameter 0.51mm (.020”) larger than the “X”
No Go dimension before crimping.
5. 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”).
6. 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.
