Datasheet

Refer to the table in Figure 2 and check the selected
wire, terminal, and crimping tool for compatibility. Wire
size and insulation diameter must be within the
specified range for the terminal. The hand crimping
tool must be the one designed for crimping the wire
and terminal.
Use stranded wire only, and strip it to the length
indicated. Refer to Figure 3 and proceed as follows:
Figure 3
1. Hold tool so the BACK (Wire Side) is facing you.
2. Make sure the ratchet is released. Squeeze tool
handles together and allow them to open FULLY.
3. Raise the locator and insert the terminal into the
slot, making sure the opened portion of the
receptacle is turned away from the locator base
4. Position the terminal so the insulation sleeve
butts against the locator and is centered on the
crimping jaws.
5. Insert a properly stripped wire into the terminal
until the wire insulation begins to wedge against
the terminal insulation barrel, or until the wire
insulation butts against the terminal wire barrel.
Wire end should be approximately flush with the
wire barrel end.
6. Holding the wire in place, squeeze the tool
handles together until the ratchet releases.
7. Allow the tool handles to open FULLY. Raise the
locator and remove the crimped terminal from tool.
The insulation barrel crimp height is regulated by
placing the insulation adjustment pins in one of three
positions (1–Small, 2–Medium, 3–Large). Determine
the proper insulation crimp setting as follows:
1. Place adjustment pins in No. 3 position. Insert
terminal into the tool according to Paragraph 3.1,
Steps 1 through 4.
2. Insert an unstripped wire into the terminal
insulation barrel. Crimp the terminal and remove it
from the tool.
3. Check the insulation crimp by bending the wire
back and forth one time. If the wire pulls out, place
the adjustment pins in the next smaller position,
and repeat these procedures. The crimp should
hold the wire insulation firmly without cutting into it.
Hand crimping tools are inspected before shipment.
The tool received should be inspected immediately
upon arrival to ensure that the tool has not been
damaged during shipment, and that it performs
according to the criteria described in this sheet. If a
tool is damaged upon arrival, retain the shipping
container, file a claim with the carrier, and notify Tyco
Electronics immediately.
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
from the tool with a clean brush or a soft, lint–free
cloth. DO NOT use objects that could damage the
tool.
2. Make sure that the proper retaining pins are in
place and are secured with the proper retaining
rings.
3. Make certain that all pins, pivot points, and
bearing surfaces are protected with a THIN coat of
any good SAE 20 motor oil. DO NOT oil
excessively.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep the handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the crimping areas and store the tool in a clean,
dry area.
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the tool or be supplied to
supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
