Crimp Height Micrometer Crimp Height Micrometer Specification Sheet Order No. 63800-2820 Features Measuring range: 0-1in. (0-25mm) Resolution: 0.00005in (0.001mm) Accuracy: ±0.0001in (0.002mm) Calibration certificate included (traceable to NIST) Description LOCKING DIAL ANVIL SPINDLE HANDLE RATCHET STOP LCD DISPLAY FRAME Figure 1 BATTERY CAP FUNCTION KEYS This is a micrometer specifically designed to measure crimp height. It has an anvil (thin blade) that supports the top of the crimp while a spindle (pointed section) contacts the bottom radial surface. See Figure 1.

There are two ways of pressing the function keys: Press and release 3. ABS/INC…UNIT = ABS/INC Absolute/Relative measuring mode conversion. = UNIT Metric/Inch measuring mode conversion. or Press and Hold (more than 1 second) 2. ON/OFF…SET = ON/OFF Power on/off. = SET Set the origin. 4. Set the origin Press and hold the “SET” key until the “SET” flashes once on the LCD and the display is set to the origin. Power 1. The battery is a SR44, 1.5V. Replace the battery when the display is blurring or the “ “ appears. 2. If the micrometer is not in use, the power will shut off in 5 minutes. The micrometer will turn on when pressing the ON/OFF key or turning the spindle. 3. Power off the micrometer when not in use, by pressing the ON/OFF key. 4. Remove the battery if the micrometer is not being used for a long period of time. How to Measure Crimp Height (See Figure 4) 1. Complete the crimping tool set-up procedure. 2. Crimp a minimum of five samples. Micrometer Anvil Formed side of the crimp laying on the micrometer anvil Bell Mouth Position the micrometer spindle in the center of the conductor crimp area. Locking Dial Handle Conductor crimp height Figure 4 3. Place the Anvil (flat blade) of the crimp micrometer across the top of the dual radii of the conductor crimp. Do not take the measurement near the conductor bell mouth. 4. Rotate the micrometer spindle until the point contacts the bottom radial (curved) surface. Do not excessively tighten the point against the terminal. 5. Record crimp height readings. A minimum of five crimp height readings is necessary to confirm the crimping tool set-up. A minimum of 25 readings should be taken for determining process capability.
