1. INTRODUCTION
SDE (Four-Piece) Crimping Die Assemblies 91912-[ ]
are designed to crimp a variety of connectors when
used in PRO-CRIMPER* II Hand Tool Frame
Assembly 354940-1. Refer to Figure 5 for a list of
connectors and their associated dies, as well as
detailed drawings of the crimping dies.
Catalog 1307191 provides a guide for cable- to-
connector selection. For connectors not referenced in
the catalog, contact TE Product Engineering for
recommendations.
Refer to instruction sheet 408-9930 for information
concerning PRO-CRIMPER II Hand Tool Frame
354940-1.

Dimensions in this document are in metric units
[with U.S. customary units in brackets].
2. DESCRIPTION
Each four-piece crimping die assembly consists of two
indenter dies and two anvil dies, which when closed
form two or three crimping chambers. The larger
crimping chambers crimp the ferrule of the connector
onto the coaxial cable. The smaller crimping chamber
3. DIE INSTALLATION (Figure 1)
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
then allow the tool handles to open fully.
2. Install anvil die in the movable jaw of the tool
frame. Align the die with the retaining screw hole,
then secure die with the die-retaining screw. Do
NOT fully tighten.
3. Install indenter die in the stationary jaw of the tool
frame. Slowly close the tool handles, allowing the
dies to align themselves.
NOTE
i
Once the anvil has entered the indenter, place a
copper bus bar (1.57-mm ± 0.05 mm 
[.062-in. ± .002 in.] diameter) into the center
contact crimping chamber of the die assembly.
4. Close the tool handles completely.
5. Securely tighten both screws with the appropriate
screwdriver.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Select the appropriate cable size and connector. The
wire size and insulation diameter must be within the
specified range for the connector.
NOTE
i
This tool is provided with a crimp height adjustment
feature. Initially, the crimp height should be verified.
Refer to Section 5, Crimp Height Adjustment, to
verify crimp height before using the tool.
For detailed information on cable strip lengths and
proper assembly of the connector, refer to the
instructions packaged with the connector. Make sure
that the connector's ferrule has been placed onto the
cable, and that the cable's braided shield is flared
away from the cable. Then proceed as follows:
4.1. Crimping the Center Contact (Figure 2)
1. Close the tool handles until the dies are partially
closed.
2. Assemble the center contact onto the cable
center conductor and place the center contact in the
smallest crimping chamber of the anvil die. Make
sure the flange on the end of the center contact
butts against the die.
