This tool is recommended for R&D prototyping,
networking applications, commercial/industrial
maintenance, and field service repair. For other
applications, please contact your Tyco Electronics
Sales Representative or the Tyco Electronics
Tooling Assistance Center at 1-800-722-1111.
5. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
The crimp height is dependant on the dies. Refer to
the appropriate instruction sheet for die crimp height
inspection.
6. RATCHET (Crimp Height) ADJUSTMENT (Figure 4)
The tool frame assembly features a ratchet
mechanism and adjustment wheel with a range of
settings. The ratchet mechanism ensures that the tool
has completed the cycle. The adjustment wheel
controls the amount of handle pressure exerted on the
tool jaws and crimping dies during the crimping
procedure. Although the ratchet is preset prior to
shipment, it is important that you verify the crimp
height. Also, general use and subsequent wear may
cause the tool to go out of adjustment. It is
recommended that the crimp height be inspected -
and adjusted, if necessary - on a regular basis by
quality control personnel.
NOTE
i
This is a general explanation of the procedure. For
specific information, refer to the instruction sheet
packaged with the die assembly.
1. Crimp a contact onto a properly-prepared wire of
the correct size.
CAUTION
!
Damaged product should not be used. If a
damaged contact is evident, it should be cut from
the end of the wire and replaced with a new one.
Never reuse or re-terminate a terminal.
