408-4165 Datasheet, PDF (4/5 Pages) Tyco Electronics – PRO–CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool

PRO-CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool Assembly 58583-1
408-4165
CAUTION
!
Make sure that both sides of the insulation barrel
are started evenly into the crimping chamber.
Do NOT attempt to crimp an improperly
positioned contact.
4. Hold the contact in position and squeeze the
tool handles together until ratchet engages
sufficiently to hold the contact in position. Do NOT
deform insulation barrel or wire barrel.
5. Insert stripped wire (with wire seal) into contact
insulation and wire barrels until it is butted against
the wire stop, as shown in Figure 3.
6. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles
together until ratchet releases. Allow tool handles
to open and remove crimped contact.
NOTE
i
The crimped contact may stick in the crimping
area, but the contact can be easily removed by
pushing downward on the top of the locator (see
Figure 3).
7. Check the contact crimp height as described in
Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION. If
necessary, adjust the crimp height as described in
Section 7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
6. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
This inspection requires the use of a micrometer with
a modified anvil.
NOTE
i
Tyco Electronics does not manufacture or market
these gages. However, TE recommends the
modified micrometer (Crimp Height Comparator
RS-1019-5LP) or the digital Mitutoyo
micrometer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 4 and select a wire (maximum
size) for each crimping chamber listed.
2. Refer to Section 5, CRIMPING PROCEDURE,
and crimp the contact(s) accordingly.
3. Using a crimp height comparator, measure the
wire barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 4. If the
crimp height conforms to that shown in the table,
the tool is considered dimensionally correct. If not,
the tool must be adjusted. Refer to Section 7,
CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
7. RATCHET (Crimp Height) ADJUSTMENT (Figure 5)
1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel
from the locator side of the tool.

3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a
tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment
wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a
higher–numbered setting. If a looser crimp is
required, rotate the adjustment wheel
CLOCKWISE to a lower–numbered setting.
4. Replace the lockscrew.
5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp
height. If the dimension is acceptable, secure the
lockscrew. If the dimension is unacceptable,
continue to adjust the ratchet, and again measure
a sample crimp.
