How to Connectorize Cables 139
Practice 450-1011-201
(6) Insert a female socket pin into the 20/24 crimp slot; the V-shape opening of the
crimping barrel of the pin should face toward the groove of the crimper jaws, as
shown in Fig. 16-3, View B.
Note: The color dot on the pin must be red to match the color of the 20/24
crimp slot designation on the tool.
- CAUTION -
Do not attempt to close the tool handles while the locator is positioned
between the tool jaws.
(7) Grasp the locator and pull outward, allowing the spring tension to pull the
locator down and the wire stop to enter the slot between the contact shoulder
and the V-shape wire barrel, as shown in Fig. 16-3, View C.
(8) Squeeze the handles of the tool until the ratchet is just engaged. Do not allow
the V-shape barrel to be squeezed or deformed.
(9) Insert the trimmed end of the first wire into the pin until it comes to stop against
the wire stop, then squeeze to crimp. The handles must be fully squeezed before
the handle ratchet will release.
(10) Open the handles. Grasp the locator and pull out and up. Remove the crimped
pin socket from the tool.
(11) Repeat the crimping procedure for the remaining three wires and (if
applicable) for the two ground lead wires.
(12) Check all leads for proper crimping. Repeat the stripping and crimping
procedure, if necessary.
(13) Insert all the crimped leads into the connector according to their assigned pin
locations. Refer to Table 16-A for identification of the six pins. If necessary, an
AMP Insertion/Extraction Tool (AMP 91067-2) may be used to insert the pins
into the connector socket.
(14) Tape the cable at the end of the sheath. Assemble the connector housing (AMP
207908-4) with the screws provided.
