1. INTRODUCTION
TE Connectivity Hand Crimping Tools 45160 and

PLASTI-GRIP* butt splices (listed in Figure 2) onto
stranded or solid wire sizes 22 through 14 AWG.
NOTE
i
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in
millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures and
illustrations are for reference only and are not
drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are
provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.
The locator positions the splice between the crimping
jaws. The insulation crimp adjustment pins are used to
regulate the crimp height of the splice insulation barrel
sleeve. The ratchet assures full crimping of the splice.
Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the
tool handles have been FULLY closed.
CAUTION
!
The crimping jaws bottom before the
CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet releases. This feature
ensures maximum electrical and tensile
performance of the crimp. Do NOT re-adjust the
ratchet.
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
Each hand tool consists of two crimping jaws, locator,
two insulation crimp adjustment pins, and a
CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet. The FRONT of the tool,
into which the splice is inserted, has the TE logo
marked on the link. The tool handles have color-
coded labels which match the insulation color of the
splices and correspond with a given wire size range.
3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
NOTE
i
Each hand tool is coated with a preservative to
prevent rust or corrosion. Wipe this preservative
from the tool, particularly from the crimping jaws,
before using the tool.
Refer to Figure 2 to make sure that the splice, wire
size, and tool are compatible.
