Crimping Wire to Contacts
Follow steps 1-3 for proper contact crimping.
1. Fully insert wire into contact
crimp pocket. Wire must be
visible through wire inspection
hole.
2. Insert contact into tool (use proper
crimping tool as listed on preceding page).
Crimp contact to wire. Tool will not open if
contact is not fully crimped.
3. After crimping, wire should be visible
through wire inspection hole.
Contact Insertion
Contact Removal
Using proper insertion/removal tool as
listed on previous page, slip wire into
insertion end (colored end), placing
crimp end of contact inside the slotted
portion and contact shoulder against
end of tool.
Align contact with the cavity at the rear
face of the module. Carefully push the
contact into the full depth of the cavity.
Withdraw tool. A slight axial pull on the
wire will confirm contact is locked in
proper position.
Snap the extraction end (white end) of
the tool over the wire of the contact
selected for removal. Carefully push the
tool into the full depth of the contact
cavity releasing the contact retaining
collet. Hold the wire against the serra-
tions on the tool, and withdraw the tool
and the wired contact from the module.
