Pneumatic TETRA- CRIMP Adapter 679305- 1
408- 4099
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The adapter is designed with two crimping jaws and a
spring--loaded stop. When closed, the jaws form three
crimping chambers, each labeled by color on the jaw
of the adapter. The color indicates the wire size and
must match the insulation color of the terminal or
splice: yellow (12--10), blue (16--14), red (22--16),
black (16--14 heavy duty), and green (20--18 heavy
duty).
The stop aids in positioning the terminal or splice
between the jaws. After the operator locates the
terminal or splice and inserts the stripped wire, the
tool is activated to complete the crimp. The crimped
terminal or splice will display a crimp dot code which
indicates that the correct crimping chamber was used.
3. ADAPTER INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
NOTE
i
The adapter is coated with a preservative to
prevent rust and corrosion. Wipe the preservative
from the adapter, particularly from the crimping
area, before installation.
DANGER
Before installing or removing the adapter,
DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR
SUPPLY. After installation, ALWAYS ensure that
the tool holder assembly quick pins are fully
tightened to avoid personal injury or damage to
the tool.
1. Remove quick pins from the tool holder.
2. Insert adapter into the tool holder as shown in
Figure 1.
3. After adapter is properly aligned, insert and
tighten the quick pins.

NOTE
i
Tyco Electronics recommends using LOCTITE{
242 removable threadlock, or equivalent, to
prevent the quick pins from loosening.
4. Connect tool to an adequate air supply. For
specific information on air line requirements and air
hose installation, refer to the instructions packaged
with the pneumatic tooling assembly.
For removal, remove quick pins from tool holder
assembly; then remove adapter from tool holder
assembly.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE (Figure 3)
Strip the wire to the appropriate length according to
the dimensions shown in Figure 2. Then proceed as
follows:
CAUTION Do NOT operate tool without adapter installed.
!
DANGER
To avoid personal injury or damage to the tool,
always keep fingers clear of crimping jaws, and
frequently check to ensure that the quick pins are
fully tightened.
1. Open the crimping jaws by squeezing the rollers
together.
2. Center the wire barrel of terminal or splice in the
appropriate crimping chamber on the jaw with the
stop.
a. If crimping a terminal, make sure the flat side
of the terminal faces away from the stop. See
Figure 3, Detail A.
b. If crimping a splice, seat the splice window
indent on the stop. See Figure 3, Detail B.
