1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers application and

maintenance for AMP* Hand Crimping Tool 90188–2,

which is designed to crimp quick–disconnect–type

terminals having open wire and insulation barrels. A

typical terminal is shown in Figure 2. Read these

instructions carefully before applying any terminals.

Reasons for reissue are provided in Section 6,

REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

This tool features two fixed dies (crimpers), two

movable dies (anvils), a locator/insulation stop, and a

CERTI–CRIMP ratchet.

The locator/insulation stop positions the terminal

between the crimping dies and aids in locating the

wire in the terminal. In use, it rests in the terminal’s

locator slot.

Crimpers

Anvils

The CERTI–CRIMP ratchet ensures full crimping of

the terminal. Once engaged, the ratchet will not

release until the handles have been FULLY closed.

3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

Select an applicable terminal and a wire of

appropriate size and insulation diameter. Strip the

wire to the length indicated in Figure 2. Do NOT cut

or nick the wire strands.

1. Hold the tool so the BACK of it is facing you.

2. Make certain that the ratchet is released by

squeezing the tool handles and allowing them to

open FULLY.

3. Looking straight into the crimping dies from the

BACK of the tool, insert a terminal (insulation

barrel first) into the FRONT of the appropriate

crimping section.

4. Position the terminal in the crimpers so that the

locator/insulation stop enters the terminal locator

slot.

5. Hold the terminal in this position and squeeze

the tool handles until the insulation anvil starts

entry into the insulation crimper. Do NOT deform

the insulation barrel or wire barrel.
