General Information

This crimp tool enables the user to inspect and if necessary calibrate the tool at user-determined inspection intervals. To assure consistently good crimping performance, the tool has a wear monitoring function. This shows the user when tool wear has exceeded a defined limit.

This tool has multiple display functions, which can be selected with the MODE button. This allows the user to determine whether settings will be in mm, inches or selector positions 1 - 8 compliant to MIL 22520

How to Crimp

The reference table indicates the correct locator position to be selected and the crimp depth to be adjusted for the contact to be crimped. The contact is then inserted through the access hole of the tool on the opposite side of the locator. The contact is held in place by closing the handles to the first lock-in position thus preventing the contact from falling out of the tool and facilitating insertion of the wire into the contact. The precision ratchet assures consistently accurate crimping every time by forcing the tool to be closed all the way completing the crimping cycle before the tool can be opened again.

Adjustment of Crimp Depth

Crimp depth can be adjusted as follows:

• Turn the adjusting knob to adjust the crimping depth of the indents until the display shows the desired depth.
