Figure 4-119 Crimping the connector
4. To complete the assembly of the other end, repeat steps 1 to 3.
Checking the Appearance of Contact Strips
Background
● To ensure proper contact between the crimped wires and the wire conductors,
the heights and sizes of the contact strips must be standard and the same.
● The contact strips must be parallel to each other, with an
oset of less than
± 5°. The top margin of a strip must be parallel to the axis of the connector,
with an oset of less than ± 10°.
● To ensure conductivity, the surface of the contact strips must be clean.
● The contact strips must be in good contact with the RJ45 socket. The plastic
separators must remain intact and be aligned.
● The contact strip blade must extend beyond the ends of the wires. The ends
of the wires must be in contact with the edge of the RJ45. The distance
between them must be less than 0.5 mm (0.02 in.).
Procedure
1. Hold the crimped connector, with the front side facing you, and check
whether the contact strips are of the same height. The height should be 6.02
± 0.13 mm (0.237 ± 0.005). If a measuring tool is not available, you can
compare the connector with a standard connector. Figure 4-120 shows an
unqualied piece, and Figure 4-121 shows a qualied piece.
All unqualied pieces must be crimped again.
