2. DESCRIPTION
Each tool features integral dies that have two crimping
areas (one to crimp the center contact, and one to
crimp the ferrule), an adjustment cap that rotates the
locator-stop (as required), and a CERTI-CRIMP hand
crimping tool ratchet control which ensures full
crimping. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release
until the tool handles have been FULLY closed.
The FRONT of the tool is marked with the part
number. The center contact enters the crimping area
from the RIGHT side of the tool. The contact/cable
assembly is inserted through the BACK of the tool for
ferrule crimping.
3. ASSEMBLY AND CRIMPING PROCEDURES
Select the appropriate cable and connector for the
tool. Slip ferrule over cable; then strip cable to the
proper length, according to instructions packaged with
the connector (plug or jack).
3.1. Crimping the Center Contact
Refer to Figure 2 and proceed as follows:
1. Determine contact type (long or short) from the
dimensions provided in Figure 2. Rotate locator/
stop by turning adjustment cap to OPEN position for
