1. INTRODUCTION

CERTI-CRIMP hand tools 47386-4, 47387-7, and 525690-1 are used to crimp PIDG* and PLASTI-GRIP*

terminals and splices onto a wire range size of 0.25-2.6 mm2[22-14 AWG].

2. WIRE STRIPPING AND CRIMPING PROCEDURES

1. Strip the wire to the dimension listed in Figure 2. Strip length is determined by product to be crimped

and by wire size.

2. Open crimping jaws by closing handles until the ratchet releases. See Figure 1.

NOTE

Once the ratchet is engaged, the handles cannot be opened until they are fully closed.

3. Place the terminal in the crimping jaws as shown in Figures 3A, 3B, and 3C.

4. Place the PIDG-Nylon butt splices in crimping jaws as shown in Figure 4A.

NOTE

For crimping PLASTI-GRIP butt splices, the locator has to be removed from the tool as shown in Figure 4B.

5. Close handles until the terminal or splice is held firmly in place. Do not deform the terminal or splice

barrel. Make sure the terminal barrel rests against the locator.

6. Insert the stripped wire into the barrel. To complete the crimp, close the handles until the ratchet

release mechanism releases. Handles will open automatically and the crimped item may be removed.

7. To crimp the other half of the splice, remove it and reposition the uncrimped half in the tool and

repeat.

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.

3. INSULATION CRIMP ADJUSTMENT FOR PIDG AND PLASTI-GRIP TERMINALS AND SPLICES

The insulation crimping section of the hand tool has three positions: 1-Tight, 2-Medium, and 3-Loose. Crimping

position No. 3 is for wire having a large insulation diameter; No. 2 is for medium insulation diameter; and No. 1

is for small insulation diameter.

NOTE

Always make certain that bot insulation adjustment pins are in the same position. See Figure 1.

1. Insert the insulation adjustment pins in the No. 3 position. See Figure 1.

2. Place the terminal or splice in the crimping jaws and insert the unstripped wire into only the insulation

barrel portion of the terminal or splice. See Figure 2.

3. Squeeze the handles of the tool and complete the crimping procedure.

4. Remove the crimped terminal or splice and check the insulation support as follows:

a. Bent the wire back and forth once.

b. The terminal or splice should retain the grip on the wire insulation.

c. If the wire pulls out, se the insulation adjustment pins in next tighter position (No. 2).

d. Make a test crimp and repeat adjustment as necessary until the desired insulation grip is obtained.

e. Do not use a tighter setting than required.

NOTE

PLASTI-GRIP terminals and splices feature a wire insulation support only. PIDG terminals and splices feature an insulation

grip.

4. COLOR AND DOT CODE (Figure 2)

Make sure that the terminal, splice, and tool handle colors are coded for a given wire size. The dot coding will

appear on terminals and splices when they are crimped properly in the correct hand tools.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE

5.1. Cleaning

The tool should be immersed (handles partially closed) in a reliable commercial de-greasing compound to

remove accumulated dirt, grease, and foreign matter. Make certain that the de-greasing compound does not

attach paint or plastic materials. Remove remaining de-greasing compound with a lint-free cloth. When de-

greasing compounds are not available, tool may be wiped clean with a lint-free cloth. Re-lubricate tool before

placing it back in service. See Paragraph 5.2.

5.2. Lubrication

Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces with a good grade SAE No. 20 motor as follows:

a. Tools used in daily production, lubricate daily.

b. Tools used daily (occasional), lubricate weekly.

c. Tools used weekly, lubricate monthly.

Wipe excess oil from tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto certain

terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.

5.3. Die Closure Inspection

Every TE Connectivity hand tool is inspected and tested for proper die (jaw) closure before being shipped from

the factory. An inspection should, however be performed periodically to measure the tool die closure.

The tool die closure inspection is accomplished using GO/NO-GO plug gages. TE neither manufactures nor

sells plug gages, however, suggested plug gage design is shown in Figure 5. The GO/NO-GO dimensions of

the plug gage are also listed in Figure 8. The following procedure is recommended for measuring the tool die

closures. Also, refer to Instruction Sheet 408-7424.

Figure 5

1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from tool crimping area and plug gage.

2. Remove locator assembly.

CAUTION

Do not lose spring in locator assembly.

3. Close handles of tool until crimping jaws are bottomed. Do not apply additional pressure to tool

handles.

4. With crimping jaws bottomed, use plug gage to check the die closure.

5. Hold gage in straight alignment with the tool and carefully try to insert, without forcing, the GO

element, and then the NO-GO element. See Figure 6.

6. The GO element must pass completely through the die closure.

7. The NO-GO element may enter partially, but must not pass completely through the die closure.

8. Re-install the locator assembly.

9. If the wire barrel crimping dies meet the GO/NO-GO gage conditions, the tool may be considered

dimensionally correct.

10. If you find that the tool crimping dies do not conform to the GO/NO-GO gage conditions, return the tool

to TE for repair.
