5. CRIMPING
NOTE
The tool is provided with a crimp adjustment feature. Initially, the crimp height should be verified as specified in Figure 4. Refer
to section 7, INSPECTING THE CRIMP HEIGHT, and section 8, ADJUSTING THE RATCHET, to verify crimp height before
using the tool to crimp contacts and wire sizes.
1. Refer to Table 1 and select wire of the specified size and insulation diameter.
2. Strip the wire to the length indicated. Do not nick or cut wire strands.
3. Select an applicable contact and identify the appropriate crimp section according to the wire size
markings on the tool.
4. Hold the tool so that the back (wire side) is facing you. (See Figure 2.) Squeeze the tool handles
together and allow them to open fully.
5. Holding the contact by the mating end, insert the contact through the front of the tool and into the
appropriate crimp section.
6. Position the contact so that the U of the wire barrel faces the top of the tool.
7. Place the contact up into the nest so that the wire barrel is against the spring-loaded locator.
CAUTION
Make sure that both sides of the wire barrel are started evenly into the crimping section. Do not attempt to crimp an
improperly positioned contact.
8. Close the handles of the tool until the contact is lightly held by the die set, but is not deformed to the
point where the wire cannot enter freely.
9. Insert the wire into the crimp barrel of the contact until it butts against the spring-loaded locator.
10. While holding the wire in place, fully cycle the tool until the ratchet releases and allows the handle to
open.
