SCOPE
Products: Nylon Insulated Closed-End Connectors 10-16 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 specifications 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.

OPERATION
Wire Preparation
Pre-twisted wire not required for OEM applications. For Solid Wire strip leads to 3/8 of an inch. Insert into
connector and crimp (OEM only).
3/8“
For stranded wire strip leads to approximately 3/4 of an inch.
Twist the wire combination even and tight. Trim stripped pre-
twisted area to 3/8 of an inch and insert into connector and
crimp. For more information follow the Quality Crimping
Handbook.

Tool Calibration
To recalibrate this Applicator, make sure the power is
completely shut off on the press.

SLUG METHOD
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
“X” CRIMP
of the conductor dies is the soft metal slug method, (See

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.
