INTRODUCTION
CERTI-CRIMP hand tools 47386-4, 47387-7, and 525690-1 are used to crimp PIDG* and PLASTI-GRIP*
terminals and splices onto a wire range size of 0.25-2.6 mm
2
[22-14 AWG].
2.
WIRE STRIPPING AND CRIMPING PROCEDURES
1. Strip the wire to the dimension listed in Figure 2. Strip length is determined by product to be crimped
and by wire size.
2. Open crimping jaws by closing handles until the ratchet releases. See Figure 1.
NOTE
Once the ratchet is engaged, the handles cannot be opened until they are fully closed.
3. Place the terminal in the crimping jaws as shown in Figures 3A, 3B, and 3C.
4. Place the PIDG-Nylon butt splices in crimping jaws as shown in Figure 4A.
NOTE
For crimping PLASTI-GRIP butt splices, the locator has to be removed from the tool as shown in Figure 4B.
5. Close handles until the terminal or splice is held firmly in place. Do not deform the terminal or splice
barrel. Make sure the terminal barrel rests against the locator.
6. Insert the stripped wire into the barrel. To complete the crimp, close the handles until the ratchet
release mechanism releases. Handles will open automatically and the crimped item may be removed.
7. To crimp the other half of the splice, remove it and reposition the uncrimped half in the tool and
repeat.
PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low
volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.
