CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Squeeze the handles to cycle the crimp tool (Part No.
HD-41609) to the fully open position.
2. Raise locking bar by pushing up on bottom flange. With
the crimp tails facing upward, insert contact (socket/pin)
through locking bar, so that the closed side of the contact
rests on the front nest (concave split level area of the
crimp tool). See
Figure B-3.
3. Release locking bar to lock position of contact. When
correctly positioned, the locking bar fits snugly in the
space at the front of the core crimp tails.
4. Strip lead removing 5/32 in. (4 mm) of insulation. Insert
wires between crimp tails until ends make contact with
locking bar. Verify that wire is positioned so that short
pair of crimp tails squeeze bare wire strands, while long
pair folds over insulation material.
5. Squeeze handle of crimp tool until tightly closed. Tool
automatically opens when the crimping sequence is
complete. Raise up locking bar and remove contact.
6. Inspect the quality of the core and insulation crimps. Dis-
tortion should be minimal.
