The PRO-CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool is a “Commercial" grade tool

and is designed primarily for field installation, repair, maintenance work,

or prototyping in industrial, commercial, or institutional applications.

Product crimped with this tool will meet the crimp height requirement for

hand tools in the appropriate Application Specification (114 Series) but

may not comply with other feature parameters of the specification. TE

Connectivity offers a variety of tools to satisfy your performance

requirements. For additional information, contact PRODUCT

INFORMATION at 1-800-522-6752.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 9, REVISION SUMMARY.

NOTE

All dimensions on this instructionsheet are in millimeters

[with inches in

brackets]. Figures arenot drawn to scale.

CAUTION

Terminals crimped with Tool 58433-3 or with Die Assembly 58423-1 are not Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) or

CSA International.

DESCRIPTION

The tool frame features a stationary jaw and handle, a moving jaw and handle, and an adjustable ratchet that

ensures full crimping. The tool frame holds the die assembly. See Figure 1.

The die assembly consists of an anvil and indenter. When closed, the dies form three crimping chambers. The

indenter is marked with the letters R, B, and Y which correspond with the color of the terminal insulation (red,

blue, or yellow). Die retaining screws are used to secure the dies in the tool frame. See Figure 2.

Figure 2

INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE ASSEMBLY

1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, then allow the handles to open fully.

NOTE

The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks as the tool handles are closed.

2. Remove the two die retaining screws and die retaining pins (pins will not be used for this die

assembly) from the tool jaws.

3. Place the anvil in the moving jaw so that the marked surface faces outward. Insert the die retaining

screw through the hole of the moving jaw and hole of the anvil and tighten the screw just enough to

hold the anvil in place. DO NOT completely tighten the screw.

4. Place the indenter in the stationary jaw so that the marked surface faces outward. Insert the die

retaining screw through the hole of the stationary jaw and hole of the indenter and tighten the screw

just enough to hold the indenter in place. DO NOT completely tighten the screw.

5. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure the anvil and indenter align properly. Continue closing

the tool handles until the ratchet engages sufficiently to hold the anvil and indenter in place, then

tighten both die retaining screws.

6. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, remove the two die retaining screws,

then slide the dies out of the tool jaws.

CRIMPING PROCEDURE [REFERENCE FIGURE 3]

NOTE

This tool is provided with a crimp adjustment feature. Initially, the crimp height of a sample terminal should be verified in

accordance with Section 5.

1. Refer to Figure 1 and select wire of the specified size and insulation diameter.

Strip the wire to the length indicated in Figure 1, taking care not to nick or cut wire strands.

2. Hold the tool so that the back (wire side) is facing you. Squeeze tool handles together and allow them

to open fully.

Figure 3

3. Place the terminal in the proper crimping chamber (match color code to terminal insulation) so the

edge of the insulation aligns with the edge of the indenter. Note: The wire barrel should be at the back

of the tool.

4. Hold the terminal in position, and squeeze the tool handles together until ratchet engages sufficiently

to hold the terminal. DO NOT deform the wire barrel.

5. Insert the stripped wire into the wire barrel and holding the wire in place, squeeze the tool handles

together until the ratchet releases.

Allow the tool handles to open and remove the crimped terminal.

6. Inspect the terminal crimp height according to Section 5.

CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION

This inspection requires the use of calipers. A lead rod can be used to check the crimp height. Crimp a rod in

each of the crimping chambers. Check the crimp height of the rod against the crimp height dimension given in

Figure 4.

Figure 4

If the crimp height conforms to the dimension, the tool and die assembly are considered dimensionally correct.

Lubricate the tool with a thin coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. If it does not, adjust the crimp height according

to Section 6. If the adjustment does not result in an acceptable crimp height, the die assembly or tool may have

to be replaced.

RATCHET ADJUSTMENT [FIGURE 5]

The tool ratchet mechanism features an adjustment wheel with numbered settings. The adjustment wheel

controls the amount of handle pressure exerted on the jaws during crimping. Check the crimp height according

to Section 5. If the crimp height is not acceptable, adjust the crimp height as follows:

1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet adjustment wheel.

2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel from the front of the tool.

3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel.

If a tighter (smaller) crimp height is required, rotate the adjustment wheel counterclockwise to a

higher-numbered setting.

If a looser (larger) crimp height is required, rotate the adjustment wheel clockwise to a lower-

numbered setting.

4. Re-assemble the lockscrew.

5. Make a sample crimp.

If the crimp height is acceptable, the adjustment setting is correct. If the crimp height is unacceptable,

continue to adjust the ratchet, and again measure a sample crimp.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

7.1. Maintenance

Ensure that the tool frame and dies are clean by wiping them with a clean, soft cloth. Remove any debris with a

clean, soft brush. Do not use objects that could damage any components. When not in use, keep tool handles

closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the dies, and store in a clean, dry area.

7.2. Visual Inspection

Inspection of the dies should be made on a regular basis to ensure that they have not become worn or

damaged. Inspect the crimping chambers for flattened, chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage or abnormal

wear is evident, the dies must be replaced. Refer to Section 8, REPLACEMENT and REPAIR.
