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.

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.
