1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers the Hand Crimping Tools
listed in Figure 1, which are used to crimp the
terminal types listed in Figure 2.
Dimensions on this sheet are in millimeters
[with inch-equivalent dimensions in brackets].
Figures and illustrations are for identification only
and are not drawn to scale.

REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION
(Figure 1)
The handles and label (if applicable) of the crimping
tools are color–coded to match the color coding of the
connectors to be applied, as listed in Figure 3. The
crimping tools may show more than one color code.
Check Figure 3 to be sure that the correct tool/
connector combination is being used.
For example, tool 47386 can be used to apply PIDG
terminals and splices with a yellow color code, as well
as spare wire caps with a red color code.
Figure 3 lists the number of dots (or rib) that appear
embossed on a crimped item when the connector is
crimped in the correct tooling.
The CERTI–CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control
ensures full crimping of terminals and splices. Once
engaged, the ratchet will not release until the tool
handles have been FULLY closed.
