B. Effective Crimp Length
For optimum crimp effectiveness, the crimp must be within the area shown in Figure 4 and
must meet the crimp dimensions provided in Table 2.
C. Wire-End Protrusion Length
The wire barrel shall not exceed the dimension shown in Figure 4 and Table 2.
D. Wire Location
The wire conductor must be visible in the transition area between the wire barrel and
insulation as shown in Figure 4.
E. Wire Barrel Seam
The wire barrel seam must be closed with no evidence of loose wire strands visible in the
seam. See Figure 4.
3.2.3 Crimping Tooling
Because of the large amount of product variations and application tooling available, it is not
feasible to list all the tooling on this document. The operation instructions packaged with that
tooling. The following tools are available for the contact crimping

Table 3
The PV4 contact crimping should be done using the TE preferred crimp tool, (PN
6-1579014-8). Other manufacturer crimp tools may be able to be used to crimp
the PV4 contact, but users should first check with their local TE sales engineer for
the current listing of other manufacturer's compatible tools.
3.2.3.2 Applicators
Applicators are designed for the full wire size range of terminals, and provide for high volume or
mass production requirements. The applicators can be used in bench or floor model power units.
Each applicator is shipped with a metal identification tag attached. Do not remove this
tag or disregard the information on it. Also, a packet of associated paperwork is
included in each applicator shipment. This information should be read before using the
applicator; then it should be store in a clean, dry area near the applicators for future
reference. Some changes may have to be made to the applicators to run in all related
power units. Contact TE connectivity corporate engineering.
