REVISION SUMMARY.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE (Figure 2)
With the ferrule properly oriented on the cable, the
cable conductors terminated in the connector, and the
shield installed, proceed as follows:
1. Slide the ferrule forward over the cable outlet of
the shield assembly.
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
Each die assembly features an anvil (moving die)
subassembly and an indenter (stationary die)
subassembly. The die assembly crimps the braid and
insulation sections of a ferrule onto the cable outlet of
a shield assembly and onto the cable insulation. The
indenter subassembly remains stationary within the
tooling while the anvil moves during the crimping
operation.
3. ASSEMBLY
2. Open the head of the hand tool or ensure that
the pneumatic applicator die holder is prepared for
crimping.
3. Place the ferrule in the die assembly.
4. If using the hand tool, close and latch the tool
head in place.
5. Make certain that the ferrule is maintained in
proper position, and close tool handles completely
(or actuate dies in pneumatic applicator die holder)
to complete the crimp.
The anvil and indenter subassemblies are designed to
fit securely into the desired tooling. They are retained
by upper and lower die holder plates.
1. Select appropriate die assembly from the chart
in Figure 1. Install dies in the tooling according to
installation procedures provided in the instructions
packaged with the tooling.
2. Refer to Figure 1 for selection and orientation of
the ferrule on the cable.
NOTE
i
Refer to 408-9010 for procedures regarding the
termination of conductors and preparation of
connector assembly prior to shield installation.
Refer also to 408-9010 for shield installation
procedure and basic crimping information.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
5.1. Daily Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or a soft, lint–free cloth. Do not
use objects that could damage the dies.
2. Make sure that dies are properly aligned and
that die holding screws are in place and secured.
3. Make certain the dies are protected with a thin
coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. Do not oil
excessively.
4. When the dies are not in use, store in a clean,
dry area.
