INTRODUCTION 

This instruction sheet covers hand crimping tools 576778, 576779, 576780, 576781, 576782, 576783, and 
576784, which are used to crimp PIDG PEEK STRATO-THERM Terminals to the wire sizes listed in Table 1. 

Table 1: Crimping specifications 

NOTE 

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in millimeters with [inches in brackets]. Figures are for reference only and are not 
drawn to scale. 

Read these instructions thoroughly before crimping connectors.

DESCRIPTION 

Each tool features a head containing two stationary crimping dies (anvils) and two movable crimping dies 
(indenters), a locator, an insulation crimping adjustment pin, and a CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet 
control (see Figure 1). 

When the handles are closed, the crimping dies form one crimping chamber with two sections: an insulation 
barrel section and a wire barrel section. The insulation barrel section crimps the terminal onto the wire 
insulation. Simultaneously, the wire barrel section crimps the terminal wire barrel onto the stripped wire. The 
locator positions the terminal in the crimping chamber. The insulation crimping adjustment pin is used to 
regulate the height of the insulation crimp. 

The CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control ensures full crimping of the terminal. After it is engaged, 
the ratchet does not release until the tool handles are 

fully

 closed. 

CAUTION 

The dies bottom before the ratchet releases. This feature ensures maximum tensile performance of the crimp. This design 
feature ensures maximum electrical and tensile performance of the crimp 

Do not

 re-adjust the ratchet.
