5.2. Measuring Die Opening
The die assembly will perform correctly as long as:
• the product specified is correct for the application;
• the specific die assembly is used;
• the die assembly has been measured to ensure
that the openings are correct; and
• the tool has been adjusted correctly.
Figure 5 provides information on die opening sizes.
If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the
dimensions provided in the appropriate product
application specification, the tool and/or dies are
defective and must be replaced.

Other hex crimp dies are used to crimp
GREENPAR connectors. The hand tool frame may
be used, however, the ratchet adjustment wheel
may require adjustment to achieve acceptable
crimp height.

Damaged contacts or ferrules may not be used. If a
center contact or ferrule is damaged during the

5.3. Ratchet Adjustment
The tool frame assembly ratchet mechanism features
an adjustment wheel with nine settings. The
adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle
pressure exerted on the tool jaws and crimping dies
during crimping. If the crimp is not acceptable, adjust
the ratchet as follows:
1. If the crimp is too loose, turn the wheel to a
higher notch. If the crimp is too tight, move the
wheel to a lower notch.
2. Replace and tighten the screw at the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
