2. DESCRIPTION

(Figures 1 and 2)

The hand tool assembly features a tool frame with a

stationary jaw and handle, a moving jaw, a moving

handle, and an adjustable ratchet that ensures full

contact crimping. The tool frame holds a die assembly

with four crimping chambers. The die assembly

features an indenter die and an anvil die.

Attached to the outside of the frame is a locator and

straightener assembly, which properly positions and

holds the connector center contact during crimping.

Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used

to position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A

nut is used on the upper die retaining screw to hold

the locator and straightener assembly in place.

AND LOCATOR AND STRAIGHTENER ASSEMBLY

(Figu e 2)

1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,

then allow the handles to open fully.

2. Remove the two die retaining screws from the

tool jaws.

3. Install the anvil die in the movable jaw of the tool

frame. Insert the short die retaining screw through

the retaining hole in the jaw and through the anvil

die. Tighten the screw just enough to hold the die

in place. Do

not

tighten the screw completely at

this time.

4. Install the indenter die in the stationary jaw of

the tool frame. Insert the long die retaining screw

through the retaining hole in the jaw and through

the indenter die. Tighten the screw just enough to

hold the die in place. Do

not

tighten the screw

completely at this time.

5. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure

that the dies align properly. Continue closing the

tool handles until the ratchet in the tool frame has

engaged sufficiently to hold the dies in place, then

tighten both die retaining screws.

The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks

as the tool handles are closed.

6. Attach the straightener onto the spring retainer

with the adjustment screw. Insert the spring into

the spring retainer and place the locator over the

spring.

7. While holding the locator against the spring

retainer, place the screw hole in the spring retainer

over the end of the long die retaining screw. The

locator should be against the side of the tool jaw.

8. Place the nut onto the end of the long die

retaining screw and tighten the nut enough to hold

the locator and straightener assembly in place, but

still allowing the locator to slide up and down.

9. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the

ratchet releases. Remove the nut, the locator and

straightener assembly, and the two die retaining

screws. Slide the anvil and indenter out of the tool

jaws.

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

Th s tool s prov ded w th a center contact support

adjustment and a connector retent on force

forceadjustment feature. In t ally, the center

contact support and the retent on force should be

ver f ed as spec f ed n Sect on 5, CENTER

CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT, and

Sect on 6, RETENTION FORCE ADJUSTMENT,

before us ng the tool to cr mp des red connectors.

For detailed information on cable strip lengths and

proper assembly of the connector, refer to the

instructions packaged with the connector. Make sure

that the connector ferrule has been placed onto the

cable, and that the cable braided shield is flared away

from the cable. Then proceed as described in 4.1,

and 4.2.

4.1. Crimping th C nt r Contact

(Figure 3)

1. Holding the center contact by the mating end,

insert the contact through the front of the tool and

into the appropriate crimping chamber of the

anvil die.

2. Close the tool handles so that the dies partially

close. Position the contact so that the locator drops

into the contact wire stop slot and the end of the

contact is inside the groove in the straightener. See

cross–sectional view in Figure 3.

3. Hold the contact in place and squeeze the tool

handles together until the ratchet engages just

enough to hold the contact in place. Do not deform

the contact wire barrel.

4. Insert stripped cable into contact wire barrel until

it is butted against the locator. See cross–sectional

view in Figure 3.

Make sure that both s des of the w re barrel are

started evenly nto the cr mpng chamber. Do

NOT attempt to cr mp an mproperly pos t oned

center contact.

5. Holding the cable in position, close the tool

handles until the ratchet releases. Allow the tool

handles to open fully and remove the crimped

center contact from the dies.

The cr mped center contact may st ck n the

cr mp ng area, but the contact can be eas ly

removed by push ng downward on the top of the

locator (see F gure 3).

4.2. Crimping th F rrul

(Figure 4)

1. Insert the crimped center contact into the

connector body until the cable dielectric butts

against the dielectric inside the connector body or

until the center contact is securely positioned

within the connector. Make sure that the braided

shield is over the support sleeve of the connector

body and that no strands from the shield enter the

connector body.

2. Slide the ferrule up over the braided shield and

onto the connector until the ferrule butts against

the shoulder on the connector body.

3. Place the ferrule in the appropriate crimping

chamber of the anvil die so that the shoulder on

the connector body butts against the edge of

the die.

chamber for the ferrule.

4. While holding the assembly together, begin to

close the tool handles. Keep holding the assembly

until the dies have closed enough to hold the

assembly in place.

5. Carefully close the tool handles until the ratchet

releases.

6. Allow the tool handles to open fully and remove

the crimped connector from the dies.

5. CENTER CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT

Make a sample crimp and determine if the center

contact is bending upward, bending downward, or

bending from side to side. If the contact is bent,

adjustment is required.

1. Loosen the adjustment screw.

2. Place a center contact with cable into the proper

crimping chamber and close the tool handles until

the locator and straightener assembly is holding

the contact in position.

3. Move the straightener up or down, as required,

to eliminate the bending of the center contact.

4. Tighten the adjustment screw and close the

handles until the ratchet releases.

5. Remove and inspect the center contact.

6. Make another sample crimp. If the contact is still

being bent during crimping, repeat the adjustment

procedure.

6. RATCHET ADJUSTMENT

(Figu e 5)

The frame assembly ratchet mechanism features an

adjustment wheel with numbered settings. If the crimp

height or retention force is not acceptable, adjust the

ratchet as follows:

Refer to the appropriate application specification

(114-series dcument) for the required retention

force for the connector.

1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet

adjustment wheel.

2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel

from the opposite side of the frame.

3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a

tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment

wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a

higher–numbered setting. If a looser crimp is

required, rotate the adjustment wheel

CLOCKWISE to a lower–numbered setting.

4. Replace the lockscrew.

5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp

height. If the crimp height is acceptable, secure the

lockscrew. If the dimension is unacceptable,

remove lockscrew and continue to adjust the

ratchet, and again measure a sample crimp.
