<strong>NASA</strong>-STD-8739.4 with Change 6<br />
19.10.1 Preparation. Clean the ferrule. The conductors shall be pre-tinned, parallel to, <strong>and</strong> in<br />
contact with each other as indicated in figure 19-18 (Requirement). The conductors to be spliced<br />
shall not be twisted together (Requirement). The ferrule to be used shall be pre-tinned using a<br />
solder pot or solder iron (Requirement). Insert the wires from one end <strong>and</strong> adjust for insulation<br />
clearance <strong>and</strong> wire protrusion. Secure the wires with a spot tie or similar means to prevent<br />
movement during soldering. Trim protruding conductors even with each other with a maximum<br />
protrusion of one wire diameter of the largest wire in the wire bundle.<br />
Figure 19-18. Solder Ferrule<br />
19.10.2 Soldering. Apply heat at the end of the ferrule away from the wire insulation. Solder<br />
shall be applied at the insulation end of the ferrule (Requirement). Fill the ferrule completely<br />
with solder.<br />
19.11 Crimped Splices<br />
Maximum insulation clearance is<br />
the diameter of the ferrule<br />
Maximum protrusion of one wire<br />
diameter of largest wire in bundle<br />

Crimping wires into contacts is a method for splicing wires together without soldering. The<br />
tooling verification process <strong>and</strong> the completed termination shall comply with all the requirements<br />
of this document for a crimp termination except as specified herein for jiffy junction devices<br />
(Requirement). The contact/wires size <strong>and</strong> crimp tool setting combination shall be verified using<br />
the same requirements as for any machined contact (see 12.3.4) (Requirement). Create 3 test<br />
specimens <strong>and</strong> pull each wire in the specimen. The wire pulled shall meet the tensile<br />
requirement for a single wire of the same gage being tested in its “properly sized” contact<br />
(Requirement).
