Figure 1. The tool consists of the SDE-SA Frame Assembly 9-1478240-0 (instruction sheet 

408-8851

and the 

die assembly listed in Figure 1. This tool is used to crimp the terminal part numbers listed in Table 1.

DESCRIPTION 

The tool frame features two jaws, a handle, a ratchet adjustment wheel, and an emergency ratchet release. 
The die set consists of a crimper (upper die) and an anvil (lower die). The tool frame holds a die assembly with 
one or more crimping chambers (see Figure 1). Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used to secure 
the dies in the tool frame. 

The tool features a ratchet and an adjustment wheel with a range of settings. The ratchet ensures that the tool 
has completed the cycle and does not release until the handles have been 

fully

 closed, unless the emergency 

ratchet release is rotated to manually release the ratchet. The adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle 
pressure exerted on the dies during the crimping procedure. 

CAUTION 

The dies bottom before the ratchet release. This feature ensures maximum tensile performance of the crimp. 

Do not

 re-adjust 

the ratchet unless you have verified that the crimp height is incorrect (see section 7, ADJUSTING THE RATCHET).
