and crimpers in place, then tighten both die
retaining screws.
To remove the dies, close the tool handles until the
ratchet releases, then remove the two die retaining
screws and slide the dies out of the tool jaws

4. Place the terminal-cable assembly between the
dies with the cable extending away from you, as
shown in Figure 5.

4. CABLE PREPARATION AND CRIMPING PROCEDURE
1. .Strip the cable as shown in Figure 3.
2. Select a terminal and then place the stripped
cable into the braid termination section of the
terminal, using a straight downward motion. Make
sure that the braid seats in the "pic-type" braid-
termination barrel and that the outer insulation fits
into the support barrel. See Figure 4.

3. Pick up the hand tool and squeeze the handles
together until the ratchet releases, allowing the
crimping dies to spread apart. Then orient the tool
so that the insulation crimp (O-crimp) faces you and
squeeze the handles slightly to partially close the
dies.

5. Squeeze the tool handles together until the
ratchet releases, completing the crimp. Make sure
the terminal-cable assembly remains in place during
the process.
6. Bend the tab of the crimped terminal
approximately 90° as shown in Figure 6.
7. Using the pc board layout shown in Figure 7, drill
holes to accept the bent tab.
5. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
Crimp height inspection is performed using a
micrometer with a modified anvil commonly referred to
as a crimp height comparator. Refer to Instruction
Sheet 408-7424 for detailed information on obtaining
and using crimp height comparators.
To inspect the crimp height, proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 8 and select the correct terminal
for the wire being used.
