PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low
volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.

2. DESCRIPTION
Each die assembly consists of an anvil (moving die)
and a crimper (stationary die). The anvil features an
inner ferrule positioner and an outer ferrule stop. Each
die is held in the tool frame by a single screw. Refer to
Figure 1.
When mated, the dies form a crimping chamber which
simultaneously crimps the inner and outer ferrule onto
the cable. The dies and the positioner have an
identification marking to ensure proper die selection
for the ferrules being crimped.

1. INTRODUCTION
Crimping Die Assemblies 543013-[ ] are designed to
be used in Hand Crimping Tool Frame Assembly
543344-1 to crimp the inner ferrule and outer ferrule
used with shielded cable clamp kits for
AMPLIMITE* HD connectors.
This instruction sheet describes crimping procedures,
insulation crimp adjustments, and maintenance and
inspection. For information concerning the tool frame
and die installation, refer to Instruction Sheet
408-9315 packaged with the tool frame. Read these
instructions and referenced materials before using the
die assembly.

Determine the outside diameter of the cable being
used, then refer to Figure 2 to select the appropriate
inner and outer ferrule and then the corresponding die
assembly. Observe the identification marking on the
inner ferrule positioner which is also listed in Figure 2.
Prepare the cable according to the instructions
packaged with the ferrules. Proceed as follows:
NOTE
i
Outer ferrule must be placed on the cable
before stripping the cable.
1. Install the die assembly according to the
instructions packaged with the tool frame. Hold the
tool so that the FRONT side is facing you.
2. Open the dies by squeezing the tool handles
together until the ratchet control releases.
3. Open the tool flip-top latch and insert the cable
into the crimping chamber from the BACK side of
the tool.
4. Make sure that the lip of the inner ferrule is in
the slot in the positioner and the lip of the outer
ferrule is against the stop. See Figure 3.
5. After the ferrules are properly positioned, close
the tool flip-top latch.
6. Hold the cable assembly in place and squeeze
the tool handles together until the ratchet
releases.
7. Open the tool handles FULLY, open the flip-top
latch, and remove the crimped assembly from the
dies.
