Refer to the table in Figure 1 and select wire of the
specified size and insulation diameter. Strip the wire to
the length indicated in Figure 1, taking care not to nick
or cut wire strands. Select an applicable contact and
identify the appropriate die assembly according to the
wire size markings on the die. Refer to Figure 3 and
proceed as follows:
Locator Slot
1. Hold the tool so that the back (wire side) is
facing you. Squeeze tool handles together and
allow them to open fully.
2. Holding the contact by the insulation barrel,
insert the contact—mating end first—into the
locator slot. Position the contact so that the open
“U” of the wire and insulation barrels face the top
of the tool. Make sure the contact butts against
the adjustment screw. Check that the contact is
centered with the die assembly wire and
insulation anvils. If adjustment is required, refer to
Section 5, CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT.
3. Hold the contact in position and squeeze the
tool handles together until ratchet engages
sufficiently to hold the contact in position. Do
NOT deform insulation barrel or wire barrel.

Make sure that both sides of the insulation barrel
are started evenly into the crimping section. Do not
attempt to crimp an improperly positioned contact.
The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks
as the tool handles are closed.

4. Insert stripped wire into contact insulation and
wire barrels until it is butted against the wire stop
on the contact, as shown in Figure 3.
5. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles
together until ratchet releases. Allow tool handles
to open and remove crimped contact.
6. Check the contact's crimp height as described
in Section 6, Crimp Height Inspection. If
necessary, adjust the crimp height as described
in Section 7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
1. .Make a sample crimp according to Section 4,
CRIMPING PROCEDURE. If the crimp is out of
alignment, adjustment is required.
2. To move the contact from side-to-side, loosen
the nut that holds the locator to the frame and
slide the locator until the contact is properly
positioned. Hold the locator in place and tighten
the nut.
3. To move the contact in or out, loosen the nut
on the adjustment screw and turn the screw until
the contact is properly positioned. Hold the screw
in place and tighten the nut.
4. If the crimp is still out of alignment, repeat the
adjustment procedure.CRIMP HEIGHT
