2. DESCRIPTION
(Figures 1 and 2)
The tool features a tool frame with a stationary jaw
and handle, a moving jaw, a moving handle, and an
adjustable ratchet that ensures full contact crimping.
The tool frame holds a die assembly with three
crimping chambers. The die assembly features a wire
anvil, an insulation anvil, a wire crimper, and an
insulation crimper.
Attached to the outside of the frame is a locator
assembly, which contains a locator, a spring retainer,
and a contact support.
Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used
to position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A
nut is used on the upper die retaining screw to hold
the locator assembly in place.
4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the
jaw and through both anvil dies, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do
not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
5. Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper so
that their chamfered sides and their marked
surfaces face outward, when mounted in the
stationary jaw of the tool frame.
6. Insert the two die retaining pins.
7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the
jaw and through both crimper dies, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do
not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure
that the anvils and crimpers align properly.
Continue closing the tool handles until the ratchet
in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold
the anvils and crimpers in place, then tighten both
die retaining screws.
9. Place the locator assembly over the end of the
long screw, and position the locator assembly
against the side of the tool jaw.
10. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw
and tighten the nut enough to hold the locator
assembly in place, while still allowing the locator to
slide up and down.
11. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the
ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator
3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE ASSEMBLY

1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die
retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that
their chamfered sides and their marked surfaces
face outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of
the tool frame.
3. Insert the two die retaining pins.

8. Make another sample crimp. If the contact is
straight, tighten the contact support screw. If the
contact is still being bent during crimping, repeat
the adjustment procedure.
4. CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT

NOTE
The contact support is preset prior to shipment,
but minor adjustment may be necessary.
5. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
NOTE
This tool is provided with a crimp adjustment

1. Make a sample crimp and determine if the
contact is straight, bending upward, or bending
downward.
2. If adjustment is required, loosen the screw that
holds the contact support onto the locator
assembly.
NOTE
The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks
as the tool handles are closed.
i
verified as specified in Figure 4. Refer to
Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION, and
Section 7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT, to
verify crimp height before using the tool to crimp
desired contacts and wire sizes.
i
3. Place a contact with wire into the proper nest
and close the tool handles until the ratchet reaches
the sixth click, or until the contact support touches
the contact.
4. Slightly loosen the nut that holds the locator
assembly onto the tool frame.
5. Move the contact support as required to
eliminate the bending of the contact.
6. Tighten the nut and close the handles until the
ratchet releases.
7. Remove and inspect the contact.

Refer to the table in Figure 1 and select wire of the
specified size and insulation diameter. Assemble
applicable wire seal onto wire according to the
instructions packaged with the contact. Strip the wire
to the length indicated in Figure 1, taking care not to
nick or cut wire strands. Select an applicable contact
and identify the appropriate crimping chamber
according to the wire size markings on the tool. Refer
to Figure 3 and proceed as follows:
1. Hold the tool so that the back (wire side) is
facing you. Squeeze tool handles together and
allow them to open fully.
2. Holding the contact by the mating end, insert the
contact—insulation barrel first—through the front of
the tool and into the appropriate crimping chamber.
3. Position the contact so that the mating end of
the contact is on the locator side of the tool, and so
that the open “U” of the wire and insulation barrels
face the top of the tool. Place the contact up into
the nest so that the movable locator drops into the
slot in the contact. Refer to Figure 3. Butt the front
end of the wire barrel against the movable locator.

4. Hold the contact in position and squeeze the
tool handles together until ratchet engages
sufficiently to hold the contact in position. Do NOT
deform insulation barrel or wire barrel.
5. Insert stripped wire (with wire seal) into contact
insulation and wire barrels until it is butted against
the wire stop, as shown in Figure 3.
6. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles
together until ratchet releases. Allow tool handles
to open and remove crimped contact.

The crimped contact may stick in the crimping
area, but the contact can be easily removed by

7. Check the contact crimp height as described in
Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION. If
necessary, adjust the crimp height as described in
Section 7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
6. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a
tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment
wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a
higher–numbered setting. If a looser crimp is
required, rotate the adjustment wheel
CLOCKWISE to a lower–numbered setting.
4. Replace the lockscrew.
5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp
height. If the dimension is acceptable, secure the
lockscrew. If the dimension is unacceptable,
continue to adjust the ratchet, and again measure
a sample crimp.
This inspection requires the use of a micrometer with
a modified anvil.
NOTE
Tyco Electronics does not manufacture or market
these gages. However, TE recommends the
i
modified micrometer (Crimp Height Comparator
RS-1019-5LP) or the digital Mitutoyo
micrometer.
Proceed as follows:
Screwdriver
1. Refer to Figure 4 and select a wire (maximum
size) for each crimping chamber listed.
2. Refer to Section 5, CRIMPING PROCEDURE,
and crimp the contact(s) accordingly.
3. Using a crimp height comparator, measure the
wire barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 4. If the
crimp height conforms to that shown in the table,
the tool is considered dimensionally correct. If not,
the tool must be adjusted. Refer to Section 7,
CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.

8. MAINTENANCE
Ensure that the tool and dies are clean by wiping
them with a clean, soft cloth. Remove any debris with
a clean, soft brush. Do not use objects that could
damage the tool. When not in use, keep handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the crimping dies, and store in a clean, dry area.

The crimping dies should be inspected on a regular
basis to ensure that they have not become worn or
damaged. Inspect the crimping chambers for
flattened, chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage
or abnormal wear is evident, the tool must be
replaced. See Section 10, REPLACEMENT.
