Wire Insertion Depth
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. Though recommendations call for
at least one inspection a month, the frequency should
be based on amount of use, working conditions,
operator training and skill, and your established
company policies.

2. If the wires are too deep in the contact slots, turn
the insertion rod adjuster clockwise. A 1/6-
revolution will decrease the wire insertion depth by
approximately 0.20 mm [.008 in.]. If the wires are
not deep enough in the contact slots, turn the
adjuster counterclockwise. A 1/6-revolution will
increase the wire insertion depth by approximately
0.20 mm [.008 in.]. See Figure 6.
Replacement parts are listed in Figure 7. A complete
inventory can be stocked and controlled to prevent lost
time when replacement of parts is necessary. Order
replacement parts through your TE representative, or
