3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Install dies according to the instructions packaged
with the tooling. Then proceed as follows:
NOTE
The tools are designed to accept interchangeable
crimping dies and are used to crimp a variety of
product. Make certain that the selected contact and
cable are compatible with the die assembly.

3.1. Center Contact
1. Prepare and assemble the center contact
according to 408–6755.
2. Position contact assembly in the center
contact crimping chamber so that the indenter
aligns with the port hole of the contact. See
Figure 2.
3. Close dies (according to the instructions
packaged with the tool) onto contact until the
indenter starts to enter the contact port hole.
Align the other port hole over the anvil.

1. INTRODUCTION
Tyco Electronics Crimping Die Assembly 59993–1 is
used to crimp Size 8 coaxial RF 50–ohm and non–
impedance matched straight pin and socket contacts
onto various types and sizes of coaxial cable.
The die assembly is used with Hand Crimping Tool
69710–1 or 69710–2, or 626 Pneumatic Tooling
Assembly 189721–2 or 189722–2 fitted with “C”–
HEAD Pneumatic Adapter 318161–1. The die
assembly can also be used with Pneumatic Tool
69365–8.
For cable–to–contact selection, refer to Catalog
82074. Refer to 408–2095 for instructions concerning
operation of the hand tool and 409–5862 for 626
pneumatic tooling assembly.
NOTE
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in
millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are
not drawn to scale.
i
When using Pneumatic Tool 69365–8, pull the
handle (located on take–up attachment) forward to
close dies on contact.
4. Holding cable and contact in position, actuate
tool through a complete cycle to crimp the
contact.
5. Remove contact assembly from tool.

2. DESCRIPTION
(Figure 1)
The die assembly consists of a indenter (stationary
die) and anvil (movable die), both of which contain two
crimping chambers. The small crimping chamber
crimps the center contact, and the large crimping
chamber crimps the ferrule. Each die is held in the
tooling by a single screw.

3.2. Ferrule
1. Slide the ferrule over the cable braid and
contact support sleeve until the ferrule bottoms
against the contact body.
2. Insert contact body through the ferrule
crimping chamber from the FRONT of the tool.
Make sure that the shoulder on the ferrule is
against the edge of the ferrule crimping
chamber. See Figure 3.

3. Make certain all surfaces are protected with a
THIN coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. Do
NOT oil excessively.
When the dies are not in use, store them in a clean,
dry area.
4.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies and/or be supplied to
supervisory personnel responsible for the dies. The
inspection frequency should be based on the amount
of use, working conditions, operator training and skill,
and established company standards. These
inspections should be performed in the following
sequence:
A. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film
by immersing the dies in a suitable commercial
degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic
material.
2. Make certain all screws, retaining rings, and
die components are in place. If replacements are
necessary, refer to parts listed in Figure 5.
3. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Remove
and replace worn components.

4.3. Gaging the Crimping Chamber
This inspection requires the use of plug gages
conforming to the dimensions provided in Figure 4.
Tyco Electronics does not manufacture or market
these gages. To gage the crimping chamber, proceed
as follows:
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping
chamber and plug gage.
2. Mate the dies until the crimping surfaces have
bottomed; then hold in this position. Do NOT
force beyond initial contact.
3. Insert GO element into the crimping chamber;
but do not force it. The GO element must pass
completely through the crimping chamber. See
Figure 4.
4. In the same manner, try to insert the NO–GO
element into the crimping chamber. The NO–GO
element may enter partially, but must not pass
completely through the length of the crimping
chamber. See Figure 4.
If the crimping chambers conform to the gage
inspection, the dies may be considered dimensionally
correct and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of
any good SAE 20 motor oil. If the crimping chamber
does NOT conform to the gage inspection, refer to
Section 5 for information on obtaining evaluation and
repair.

3. Holding the contact body and ferrule in place,
actuate tool through a complete cycle to crimp
the ferrule.
4. Removed contact assembly from tool.
4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
The die assembly is inspected before shipment. Tyco
Electronics recommends that the die assembly be
inspected immediately upon arrival at your facility to
ensure that the die assembly was not damaged
during shipment and that it conforms to the
dimensions provided in Figure 4.
4.1. Daily Maintenance
Tyco Electronics recommends that each operator of
the dies be made aware of—and responsible for—the
following four steps of daily maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other
contaminants with a clean brush or a soft, lint–
free cloth. Do NOT use objects that could
damage the dies.
2. Make sure the proper screws are in place and
secured.
