Product Facts

■ Terminates 28-16 AWG

[0.08-1.2 mm

] wires

■ No wire stripping needed for

lower applied cost

■ Pistol grip (manual or air)

or bench mount (air or

electric) power units

■ Lightweight; easy to operate

■ For prototypes or low- to

medium-volume production

■ Small size; useful in

confined work areas

■ Interchangeable terminating

heads for popular AMP

IDCs:

■ Pin and socket connectors

(AMPLIMITE HDE and

MATE-N-LOK)

■ Printed circuit board

connectors (AMPMODU,

MT-6/MT-7, 2 mm CT,

and MTA)

■ Category 5 connectors

(CHAMP)

■ Card edge connectors

(AMP Communications

Outlet kits)

■ Most terminating heads can

be rotated to any angle

■ Adjustment available for

proper wire insertion depth

■ Most terminating heads

automatically index

connectors to the next

contact position, or connec-

tors can be advanced by

hand to any position

■ Anti-backup pawl prevents

connectors from moving in

the wrong direction

■ Produced under a Quality

Management System certi-

fied to ISO 9001

A copy of the

The Pistol Grip Hand Tool

System uses interchange-

able terminating heads to

apply a broad range of AMP

IDC products. The basic tool

requires a pistol grip handle

assembly and a terminating

head; power-assist and

bench mount versions are

available to suit your specific

n e e d s .

This system is well suited for

low- to medium-volume pro-

duction. Simply order the

standard or extended-wear

terminating heads based on

your anticipated needs.

Since most terminating

heads can be rotated to any

angle, the operator can also

tackle more difficult termina-

tions in confined work areas.

The terminating force is pro-

vided by a manual-, pneu-

matic- or electric-powered

assembly. The wire inserter,

inside each head, pushes

the end of an unstripped

wire into the insulation dis-

placement contact. Then,

most tools automatically

index the connector to the

next contact. The tools offer

precise termination depth

control.

For maximum productivity, a

bench mount power unit

(pneumatic or electric) is

recommended. Optional

feed tracks can increase

application rates further.

Actual production rate

depends on the IDC prod-

uct, discrete wire or ribbon

cable, and operator

d e x t e r i t y .
