Insulation Crimp Note
:
Due to the terminal’s insulation grip design and/or
insulation diameter range, this tool uses “overlap”
form geometry in the insulation punch. This produces
an overlap insulation crimp (A620 – compliant). While
the insulation punch profile may appear “lopsided”,
this is a normal condition for this tool. See figure to
the right. (Some tools with multiple crimp pockets may
not have the “overlap” profile on all pockets).
CRIMP SPECIFICATIONS:
After crimping, the crimp profiles should measure the following.

To Achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
Profile A (24): 1.40-1.90mm (.055-.075 in.)
Profile B (22): 1.40-1.60mm (.055-.063 in.)
Profile C (20): 1.60-1.90mm (.063-.075 in.)
Tool Qualification Notes:
1.
Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the
insulation crimp.
2.
The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum
crimp.
OPERATION
Open the tool by squeezing the handles together, at the end of
the closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism will release the
handles, and the hand tool will spring open.
Crimping Terminals
1.
With the hand tool in the open position, pivot the terminal
locator open by pulling up on the locator knob and lift the
wire stop blade up. See Figure 1.
2.
Insert the terminal into the correct profile until the terminal is fully seated and stops. Make sure the wire
stop blade is fully seated on the terminal behind the conductor grip section.
