damagedinsulation (cuts,knicks,shieldsolderconnections, etc.)wasdiscovered onthejumperwiresconnecting thefieldwiringterminalboardtothecableconnector inGE'sT-Mods.ThiswasreportedinNCR-3030.

Subsequently, similarinsulation damageanddeficient pincrimpswerediscovered inthePGCC/ACRpanelconnectozs.

ThiswasreportedinNCR-3403.

Asampleinspection programwasimplemented todetermine theextentofinsulation damageanddefici.ent pincrimps.Avisualinspection (extracting allpins)andpulltestofallconductors andpinswasperformed withineachof250samplepanelconnectors.

Thesampleplanwasbasedona0.65percentAQLacceptance rate.Thesampleinspection determined thattheUnit1ACRinnerring/relay/back rowpanelconnectors didnotmeeta0.65percentQALforinsulation damageanddeficient crimps.CAUSEThecausesoftheproblemscouldnotbeposi.tively identified.

However,itisbelievedthatthedamagetotheinsulation,.consisting ofnicks,cutsandabrasions, wascausedduringthepininsetionprocess.Theedgeoftheinsertion toolcanimpacttheconductor insulation andcausedamageunderthehighforcesrequiredtoinsertpinsintotheconnector dielectric.

Thedeficient pincrimpscouldhavebeencausedbyacombination ofmanfuactur'ng personnel ezrorandcrimpingtoolmalfunction.
