(7) Crimp the terminal lug.
Make sure that:
• All of the strands of the conductor are in the crimp barrel
• The end of the conductor extends 0.06 ± 0.03 inch farther than the end of the crimp barrel
• If the terminal lug has an insulation grip, the end of the wire insulation is in the insulation
grip of the terminal lug
• If the terminal lug has an insulation grip, the crimp tool is adjusted to give the correct
insulation support. Refer to Paragraph 2.B.
• If the terminal lug does not have an insulation grip, the maximum distance from the end of
the wire insulation of a single wire to the end of the crimp barrel is 0.12 inch for AWG 10 and
smaller, and 0.25 inch for AWG 8 and larger
• The clearance from the end of the conductor is sufficent for the installation of the washer
and the nut.
(8) If a heat shrinkable sleeve is on the wire:
(a) For terminal lugs on AWG 10 or smaller wire, push the sleeve over the terminal lug until the
end of the sleeve is 1/16 inch ±1/16 inch from the forward end of the crimp barrel. Refer to
Figure 23.
(b) For terminal lugs on AWG 8 or larger wire, push the sleeve over the terminal lug until the
end of the sleeve is 1/4 inch ±1/16 inch from the rear edge of the stud hole. Refer to Figure
24.
