3 Description of the tool
The tool consists of a movable handle with precision ratchet mechanism, a fixed handle with a
metric scale, an adjustment system by micro setting of 0.01 mm tolerance, four indenter jaws
and a 12 position locator, fully rotatable, for accurate positioning of contacts. A reference
table marked onto the crimp tool’s surface informs on the locator position and crimp depth to
be selected to match a particular contact. The tool can be adjusted to any crimp depths that
might be requested by the contact manufacturer.
4 Function
· Loosen the clamping screw on the opposite site of the adjusting screw before using the
tool (don’t remove the clamping screw!).
· The reference table indicates the correct locator position to be selected and the crimp
depth to be adjusted for the contact to be crimped.
· The contact is then inserted through the entry hole of the tool on the opposite side of the
locator.
· The contact is fixed by closing the handles to the first lock-in position thus preventing the
contact falling out of the tool and facilitating insertion of cable into the contact.
The precision ratchet assures consistently accurate crimps every time by forcing the tool to be
closed to its fullest extent, completing the crimping cycle before the tool opens automatically.
