1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers the use and maintenance
of Hex Crimping Die Assembly 1583696-1, which is
used in PRO-CRIMPER* III Hand Crimping Tool
Frame Assembly 354940-1. The die assembly crimps
various configurations of RF Coaxial Connectors onto
coaxial cable. In this use, the die assembly provides
for the crimping of the center contact.
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
Each die assembly consists of an indenter die and an
anvil die. When closed, the dies form four crimping
chambers, one of which crimps the center contact
while the remaining three crimp the ferrule of the
connector onto various sizes of coaxial cable. Each
die is held in the tool by a single screw.
3. DIE INSTALLATION
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
then allow the handles to open fully.
2. Insert the dies into the tool as shown in 
Figure 2 and align the retaining holes in each die
with the associated holes in the tool frame.
