Insulation Crimp Note
Due to the terminal’s insulation grip design or
insulation diameter range, this tool uses overlap
form geometry in the insulation punch. This
produces an overlap insulation crimp (A620-
compliant). Although the insulation punch profile
may appear lopsided, this is a normal condition for
this tool. See figure to the right. (Some tools with
multiple crimp pockets may not have the overlap
profile on all pockets).
Note
A crimp height chart is provided with this document as a reference only. Due to the wide range of
wires, strands, insulation diameters and durometers available, actual crimp height measurements may
very slightly. An occasional destructive pull force test should be performed to check hand tool crimp.
Pull force value must exceed the minimum pull force specifications listed.
SETUP
Locator Replacement
Refer to the above chart to determine the correct locator based on your specific crimping
application. Match the terminal series number to the appropriate locator color.
Note: You must install the correct locator prior to operating this hand tool.
See the parts list on the last page of this document for the proper locator order number. Follow the
steps below to replace the locator:
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Squeeze gently on the lower area
shown in Figure 1A with your thumb
and index finger. The lower tabs of the
locator should disengage from the hand
tool.
3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool.
The top locator hooks should slip out of
the top slots easily. See Figure 1A.
4. To install the new locator, make sure
the hand tool is in the open position.
5. Press the center of the locator down as
far as it will go as shown in Figure 1B.
6. Holding onto the lower part of the
locator with your thumb and index
finger, insert the locator’s top hooks (2)
into the hand tool’s top slots.
7. Rotate the locator down, and press the
lower tabs into the two bottom slots of
the hand tool. To secure the locator into
place, the lower tabs must snap into
place on the hand tool frame.
