APPENDIX E — CONNECTOR PART NUMBERS, TERMINAL PART
NUMBERS, TOOL PART NUMBERS, AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
C. Terminal Crimping (refer to Figure E–10, View C)
1. Strip approximately 6–8 mm (0.236–0.315 inch) of insulation from the wire.
2. Set the crimping tool wire size to number 18. To set the wire size, remove the retainer pin. Lift and
rotate the indicator until 18 is aligned with the SEL NO. arrow. Reinstall the retainer pin.
3. Insert the contact end of the terminal down into crimping tool J 34182. Adjust the crimping tool
depth by loosening the locking ring until the depth adjusting screw is free and turning the adjusting
screw until the wire end of the terminal is just above flush with the top of the crimping hole. The
crimp jaws will now contact the middle of the terminal barrel. Tighten the lock ring to retain the
adjustment.
4. Fully insert the wire into the terminal so that the stripped portion of the wire is in the crimp area. A
small section (0.5–1.0 mm (0.020–0.040 inch)) of wire will be visible above the terminal barrel.
5. Squeeze the crimping tool handle until it releases. The terminal is now crimped onto the wire.
6. Remove the terminal and wire from the crimping tool.
7. Tug on the terminal to ensure the crimp is tight.
D. Terminal Insertion
1. Select the proper insertion tool for the connector or receptacle that is being reassembled.
2. Place the terminal and wire in the insertion tool (refer to Figure E–10, Views A and B).
NOTE: When installing a socket terminal for the FMTV plug, use the J 41193-1 guide pin.
3. Insert the terminal through the correct hole in the back of the connector and push until the terminal
is seated. Remove the insertion tool. Check to see that the terminal is at the same height as other
terminals. Tug on the wire at the rear of the connector to ensure that the terminal is locked in place.
4. Insert cavity plugs into all unused cavities.
