4.2. Measuring Die Opening
1. Insert the crimped center contact into the
connector body until the cable dielectric butts
against the dielectric inside the connector body.
The flared braid will then fit around the support
sleeve of the connector body.
The die assembly will perform correctly as long as:
a. the product specified is correct for the
application,
b. the specific die assembly is used,
2. Slide the ferrule forward over the braid until the
ferrule butts against the shoulder on the connector
body.
3. Place the ferrule on the approriate anvil of the
die assembly so that the shoulder on the connector
body butts against the die. See Figure 4.
4. Holding the assembly in place, close the tool
handles until the ratchet releases.
c. the die assembly has been measured to
ensure that the openings are correct, and
d. the tool has been adjusted correctly.
Figure 5 provides information on die opening sizes.

4.1. Visual Inspection
Inspection of the crimping dies should be made on a
regular basis to ensure that they have not become
worn or damaged. Inspect the crimp sections for
flattened, chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage
or abnormal wear is evident, the dies must be
replaced. Refer to Section 5, PARTS
REPLACEMENT.
