1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet provides application and
maintenance procedures for PRO-CRIMPER III Hand
Tool Assembly 2161732-1 and crimping die assembly
2161717-1. See Figure 1. The hand tool consists of
the die assembly and PRO-CRIMPER III Hand Tool
Frame Assembly 354940-1 (refer to Instruction Sheet
408-9930 for use and maintenance on the hand tool
frame). The die assembly can be purchased
separately, or purchased with the hand tool.
For information on connector part numbers and
connector assembly procedures, refer to the
appropriate instruction sheet packaged with the
connector.
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in metric
units [with U.S. customary units in brackets].
Figures and illustrations are for reference only and
are not drawn to scale.
Read these instructions and all referenced materials
thoroughly before using the die and tool assembly.
2. DESCRIPTION
(See Figure 2)
The die assembly features an anvil die and a crimper
die. When closed, the dies produce three crimping
chambers that crimp the ferrule of the connector. Each
die is held in the tool jaws with a single die-retaining
screw.
3. DIE INSTALLATION
(Figure 2)
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases;
then allow the tool handles to open FULLY.
2. Install anvil die in the moving jaw of the hand tool.
Align the die with the retaining screw hole; then
secure die with the button head cap screw. Do NOT
fully tighten.
3. Install crimper die in the stationary jaw of the
hand tool. Slowly close the tool handles, allowing
the die to align itself with the upper die. When dies
are properly aligned, securely tighten both screws.
