Does anyone know of a mil spec, FAA standard or other specification that deals with the best practices when using ring terminals, faston and crimp splices like AMPs PIDG products. I called AMP and they didn?t have any ideas.

Section 2 of...

...this NASA Standards document could be regarded as the "high end" -

It's also much better than the usual Mil-Specs since it is pictorially based...

Start with Section 2.04

IPC-A-620

IPC-A-620 is an industry standard titled "Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies". Section 5.1 should answer your questions.

Quite comprehensive, and public domain. I was unable to find a free version of IPC-A-620.
