1. INTRODUCTION
Double Action Hand Tool (DAHT) 1804834--1 and
Crimping Head 1--1804834--1 (shown in Figure 1) are
used to crimp Raychem MiniSeal Splices listed in
Figure 2 onto stranded wire sizes 26--12 AWG.
Read these instructions thoroughly before using the
tool.
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in
millimeters [with inch equivalents in brackets].
Figures and illustrations are for reference only
and are not drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are
provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION
The tool consists of a ratchet, two crimping jaws
(indenter and anvil) containing three crimping
chambers, and a terminal locator. The tool is marked
with the wire size range for each crimping chamber.
See Figure 1. Full crimping of the splice is assured by
the ratchet. Once engaged, the ratchet does not
release until the tool handles have been FULLY
closed.
The crimping jaws bottom before the ratchet
releases. This feature ensures maximum
electrical and tensile performance of the crimp.
Do NOT re--adjust the ratchet.

3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Strip the wire according to the dimensions listed in
Figure 2. The strip length is determined by the splice
and by the wire size. Do not nick or cut the wire
strands. Proceed as follows:
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases.
Allow the tool handles to open fully.
2. Place the splice against the locator in the
appropriate crimp chamber. See Figure 3.
3. While holding the splice in place, squeeze the
tool handles together just until the jaws begin to
close on the wire barrel. Do NOT deform the wire
barrel.
4. Insert the stripped wire into the wire barrel,
making sure that the wire insulation does not enter
the wire barrel.
5. While holding the wire in place, squeeze the tool
handles together until the ratchet releases, then
allow the tool handles to open fully.
