2. DESCRIPTION
Each hand tool features two crimping jaws, a contact
locator, two insulation crimping adjustment pins, and
the CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control.
The hand tool has the tool part number, color code,
and wire size marked on the BACK side of the tool.
The color code must match the color of the contact
sleeve. The contact locator positions the terminal
between the crimping jaws and is adjustable to
accommodate long or short shoulder terminals. The
insulation crimping adjustment pins are used to
regulate the crimp height of the insulation barrel
sleeve.
The ratchet control feature assures full crimping of the
terminal. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release
until the tool handles have been FULLY closed. See
Figure 1.
CAUTION
!
The crimping jaws bottom before the ratchet
releases. This design feature ensures maximum
electrical and tensile performance of the crimp. Do
NOT re-adjust the ratchet.
