1. INTRODUCTION

Hand Crimping Tools 69156--1 and 69241--1, see

Figure 1, are designed to crimp TERMASPLICE*

splices on coaxial or shielded cables within a primary

insulation diameter range as listed in Figure 2. Splice

lead and ground wire sizes 24 through 20 AWG are

simultaneously crimped in the splice with the shielded

or coaxial cable. Read these instructions thoroughly

before using the tools.

Reasons for reissue of this document are provided in

Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY.

Dimensions on this sheet are in millimeters [with

inches in brackets].

2. DESCRIPTION

The tool (shown in Figure 1) features two sets of

crimping dies and a CERTI--CRIMP ratchet.

One die set crimps the cable center conductor and

the splice lead conductor in a parallel splice; and the

other set crimps the cable braid and ground wire

conductor together in a parallel braid splice. Both

crimps are simultaneously accomplished with one

operating cycle of the tool.

The CERTI--CRIMP ratchet ensures full crimping of

the splice. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release

until the handles have FULLY closed.

The crimping dies bottom before the

CERTI--CRIMP tool ratchet releases. This design

feature ensures maximum electrical and tensile

performance of the crimp. Do NOT re--adjust the

ratchet.

3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

Each hand tool is coated with a preservative to

prevent rust or corrosion. Wipe this preservative

from the tool, particularly from the crimping jaws,

before using the tool.

The crimping procedure requires two separate

operations. First, the cable and wires must be

prepared and assembled in the splice; then the entire

assembly is crimped using the hand tool.

3.1. Cable / Wire Preparation and Assembly

Select the proper cable, splice lead, and ground wire

and strip to the dimensions shown in Figure 2. Then

refer to Figure 3, and proceed as follows:

1. Slightly twist the cable center conductor strands.

2. Flare the cable braid so that it will easily slide

over the support sleeve of the splice.

3. Carefully insert cable into splice so that the

center--conductor insulation passes through the

support sleeve and the braid passes over and

around the support sleeve. Continue to insert cable

until the stripped center conductor enters parallel

splice area and insulator bottoms in support

sleeve.

4. Insert ground wire under side of skirt that has

been “stretched” to accommodate the ground wire.

Ground wire will then be positioned between the

skirt and the braid.

5. While holding ground wire and cable securely in

place, insert splice lead into parallel splice area.

Make certain that splice lead does not move or

bend the cable center conductor. Parallel splice

area will accept solid or stranded wire sizes 24

through 20 AWG.

3.2. Crimping the Splice Assembly

To crimp the splice assembly, refer to Figure 4 and

proceed as follows:

1. Open the tool’s crimping dies by squeezing the

handles until the ratchet releases and then allow

the handles to open FULLY.

2. Position the splice assembly in the splice and

braid crimping dies, as shown in Figure 4. Small

shoulder on tapered end of splice should butt

against lower splice crimping die.

Make certain that section of splice containing

ground wire faces upper braid die.

4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance

and inspection program be performed periodically to

ensure dependable and uniform terminations.

Frequency of inspection depends on:

1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the

hand tool.

2. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and

dirt.

3. The degree of operator skill.

4. Your own established standards.

The hand tool is inspected before being shipped;

however, it is recommended that the tool be inspected

immediately upon its arrival at your facility to ensure

that the tool has not been damaged during shipment.

Due to the precision design, it is important that no

parts of these tools be interchanged except those

replacement parts listed in Figure 7.

4.1. Daily Maintenance

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants

with a clean brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. Do

NOT use objects that could damage the tool.

2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place

and that they are secured with retaining rings.

3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces

should be protected with a thin coat of any good

SAE 20 motor oil. Do not oil excessively.

4. When the tool is not in use, keep handles closed

to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the

crimping dies. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.

4.2. Lubrication

Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces

with SAE 20 motor oil as follows:

Tools used in daily production -- lubricate daily

Tools used daily (occasional) -- lubricate weekly

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.

4.3. Periodic Inspection

1. Hand tool should be immersed (handles partially

closed) in a reliable commercial degreasing

compound to remove accumulated dirt, grease,

and foreign matter.

408- 1791

Hand Crimping Tools 69156- 1 and 69241- 1

Rev L4 of 6 Tyco Electronics Corporation

2. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and

then allow them to open freely. If they do not open

quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must

be replaced. See Section 5, REPLACEMENT AND

REPAIR.

3. Inspect head assembly for worn, cracked, or

broken dies. If damage is evident, return the tool

for evaluation and repair. See Section 5,

REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.

4.4. Crimping Die Closure Inspection

This inspection requires the use of two plug gages

conforming to the dimensions shown in Figure 5. Tyco

Electronics does not manufacture or market these

gages.

To gage die closure, refer to Figure 6 and proceed as

follows:

1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping

chamber and plug gage.

2. Close the tool handles until it is evident that the

dies have bottomed; then hold in this position. Do

NOT force the dies beyond initial contact.

3. Align the GO element of the proper plug gage

with the braid crimp section. Push element straight

into the crimp section without using force. The GO

element must pass completely through the crimp

section.

4. Check the braid crimp section with the NO--GO

element in the same manner as step 3. The

GO--GO element may start entry, but must not

pass completely through the crimp section.

5. Check the splice crimp section by repeating

Steps 3 and 4 using the proper plug gage.

If die closures conforms to the gage inspections, the

crimp sections are considered dimensionally correct.

If correct, the tool should be lubricated with a thin

coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil and returned to

service. If not correct, the tool must be returned for

further evaluation and repair. Refer to Section 5,

REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR. For additional

information regarding the use of a plug gage, refer

to instruction sheet 408--7424.

4.5. CERTI- CRIMP Ratchet Inspection

The CERTI--CRIMP ratchet feature on Tyco

Electronics hand tools should be checked to ensure

that the ratchet does not release prematurely,

allowing the crimping dies to open before they have

fully bottomed. Obtain a 0.025--mm [.001--in.] shim

that is suitable for checking the clearance between

the bottoming surfaces of the crimping dies. Proceed

as follows:

1. Select the maximum size cable and

corresponding splice from the chart in Figure 2.

Then prepare the cable and wires in accordance

with Paragraph 3.1, Cable / Wire Preparation and

Assembly.

2. Position the splice assembly in the crimping

dies, as described in Paragraph 3.2, Crimping the

Splice Assembly.

3. Hold the splice assembly in place and squeeze

the handles until the CERTI--CRIMP ratchet

releases. Hold the handles in this position,

maintaining just enough tension to keep the dies

closed.

4. Check the clearance between the bottoming

surfaces of the crimping dies. If the clearance is

0.025 mm [.001 in.] or less, the ratchet is

satisfactory. If clearance exceeds 0.025 mm

[.001 in.], the ratchet is out of adjustment and

must be repaired. See Section 5, REPLACEMENT

AND REPAIR.

5. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
