PROPER USE GUIDELINES

Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use

and low volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.

Figure 1

1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the use and maintenance

of Crimping Dies 58425-[ ] and58436-[ ] (in their

various configurations - denoted by the dash number

following the base part number), used in PRO-

CRIMPER III Hand Tool Frame 354940-1. The dies

crimp 75-Ohm Hex Crimp BNC and TNC plug

connectors onto coaxial cable.

Reasons for reissue of this sheet are provided in

Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.

NOTE

All dimensions are in millimeters [with inches in

brackets]. Figures and illustrations are for

reference only and are not drawn to scale.



2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)

Each die assembly consists of an indenter die and an

anvil die. When closed, the dies form either two or

three crimping chambers (depending on type) which

crimp the center contact and ferrule of the connector

onto the 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

and then allow them to open fully.

2. See Figure 1 for normal orientation of the dies.

Insert the dies inside the tool jaws and align the

retaining screw holes.

3. Thread the retaining screws into the holes and

carefully close the tool handles. Tighten the screws

with the appropriate hex wrench.

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

4.1. Center Contact

1. Prepare the connector and the cable according to

the instructions packaged with the connector.

2. Slide the center contact onto the center

conductor of the cable; then insert the contact

assembly into the center contact crimp section of

the die. See Figure 2.

NOTE

Make sure that the flange on the end of the center

contact butts against the crimping die. See



Figure 3.

3. Crimp the center contact by holding the cable in

place; then close the tool handles until the ratchet

releases.

4.2. Ferrule

1. Insert the crimped center contact into the

connector body until the cable dielectric butts

against the dielectric inside of the connector body.

The flared braid will then fit around the support

sleeve of the connector body.

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 appropriate anvil of the

die assembly so that the shoulder on the connector

body is butted against the die. See Figure 4.

4. Holding the assembly in place, close the tool

handles until the ratchet releases.

CAUTION

Damaged product should not be used. If a

damaged contact or ferrule is evident, it should be

cut from the wire and replaced with a new one. Do

NOT reterminated contact or ferrules.

5. INSPECTION

5.1. 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 6, PARTS REPLACEMENT.

5.2. Measuring Die Opening

The die assembly will perform correctly as long as: 

(1) the product specified is correct for the application,

(2) the specific die assembly is used, (3) the die

assembly has been measured to ensure that the

openings are correct, and (4) the tool has been

adjusted correctly.

Figure 5 provides information on die opening sizes.

5.3. Ratchet Adjustment

The tool frame assembly ratchet mechanism features

an adjustment wheel with eight settings. The

adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle

pressure exerted on the tool jaws and crimping dies

during crimping. If the crimp is not acceptable, adjust

the ratchet as follows:

1. Sufficiently loosen the screw at the ratchet

adjustment wheel so that the wheel can be rotated

above the post that engages the teeth in the wheel.

2. If the crimp is too loose, turn the wheel to a

higher notch (for example, if the wheel is set at

notch no. 5, move the wheel to notch no. 6). If the

crimp is too tight, move the wheel to a lower notch.

3. Tighten the screw at the ratchet adjustment

wheel.

If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the

dimensions provided in the appropriate product

application specification, the tool and/or dies are

defective and must be replaced.

NOTE

Other dies of the PRO-CRIMPER hand tool series

may be used in this tool; however, the ratchet

adjustment wheel may require adjustment to

achieve acceptable crimp height.

6. PARTS REPLACEMENT

Customer-replaceable parts are shown in Figure 1.

Available separately, epair Kit 679221-1 includes a

variety of pins, rings, screws, and springs. If the dies

are damaged or worn excessively, they must be

replaced. Order the repair kit and replaceable parts

through your TE Representative, or call 1-800-526-

5142, or send a facsimile of your purchase order to 1-

717-986-7605, or write to:
