4.2.6 Crimp contact 151-0042 to the end of each wire connecting to an interface according to the
following instructions.
NOTE: Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the dies have been fully closed.
4.2.7 Hold the tool so that the front side is facing you.
4.2.8 Ensure that the tool ratchet is released by squeezing the tool handles and allowing them to open
fully.
4.2.9 Holding the contact by its mating portion and looking straight into the crimp section, insert the
contact from the back of the tool into the appropriate crimp chamber.
4.2.10 Position the contact between the crimpers so that the locator/insulation stop enters the slot in the
contact. The wire barrel should butt against the locator/insulation stop. Refer to Figure 2 and
Figure 3.
