CRIMPING PROCEDURE Z80-292
1.
Ensure that the wire to be crimped is within the specified range of sizes for the contact
and the crimp tool. Failure to use the specified wire size will result in poor quality crimps
and possible tool damage.
2.
See Figs. A & B for correct wire stripping dimensions for the appropriate contact. See also
drawings M80-305 to 307 & M80-315 to 317 for cable diameter and type.
3.
Place the prepared wire and contact into the positioner and squeeze the handles of the
crimp tool fully together, until the ratchet releases. The handle will return to the open
position. Remove the crimped contact and wire. Using the sight hole (Fig A) on the side
wall of the contact, ensure that adequate insertion of strands into the crimp contact has
been achieved.
4.
For pull off forces for individual contacts see table 2.
5.
Refer to component specification C005XX for details of coax assembly methods.
