2. DESCRIPTION
The die assembly consists of a crimper die and an
anvil die that when closed forms two crimping
chambers. See Figure 1. Each die is secured in the
tool by a single screw (included with tool frame).
3. DIE INSTALLATION (See Figure 2)
1. Install the anvil die in the moveable jaw of the
tool frame. Align the screw hole of the die with the
screw hole of the tool frame, then secure the die
with the die retaining screw. DO NOT fully tighten
the screw.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Refer to 408–4551 for cable strip length and
assembly information for the connector; for detailed
application requirements, refer to Application
Specification 114–13010.
NOTE
i
The center contact must be crimped onto the
cable separately.
1. Assemble the connector according to 408–4551.
_ ^{2. Place the ferrule in the appropriate nest of the}
anvil die (marked “90 ” for right–angle ferrule and
“straight” for straight ferrule) so that the shoulder of
the connector butts against the edge of the die and
the crimp claw is facing outward. See Figure 3.
3. While holding the assembly together, cycle the
tool until the dies have closed enough to hold the
assembly in place.
