INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers hand crimping tool PN 2844594-1 used to crimp STRATO-THERM terminals (PN

DESCRIPTION
Each tool features a head containing two stationary crimping dies (anvils) and two movable crimping dies
(indenters), a locator, an insulation crimping adjustment pin, and a CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet
control (see Figure 1).
When closed, the crimping dies form one crimping chamber with two sections: an insulation barrel section and
a wire barrel section. Simultaneously, the insulation barrel section crimps the terminal onto the wire insulation
and the wire barrel section crimps the terminal wire barrel onto the stripped wire. The locator positions the
terminal in the crimping chamber. The insulation crimping adjustment pin is used to regulate the height of the
insulation crimp.
The CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control ensures full crimping of the terminal. Once engaged, the
ratchet will not release until the tool handles have been FULLY closed.
CAUTION
The crimping dies bottom before the CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control releases. This design feature ensures
maximum electrical and tensile performance of the crimp. DO NOT re-adjust the ratchet.
PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low
