part numbers are listed in Figure 1) onto foil with a maximum thickness of 0.76 mm [.020 in.]. This tool is a
member of the CERTI-CRIMP* hand crimping tool family. The ratchet on these tools ensures full crimping of
the product. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the handles have been FULLY closed.

DESCRIPTION
The tool consists of two handles, a ratchet, and two jaws each with a crimping die. The crimping dies have flat
faces which squeeze the lance-faced tab end of the terminal or splice into the foil.
CAUTION
The dies bottom before the ratchet releases. DO NOT re-adjust the ratchet.

CRIMPING PROCEDURE
NOTE
Depending on the foil and the terminal configuration, it may be necessary to crimp the wire barrel before crimping the tab end.
See Figure 2 for wire-to-tooling cross-reference for crimping the wire barrel. The applicable wire size range is stamped on the
product package label. For information on using the tooling, refer to the instructions packaged with the tooling.
