TOOLS REQUIRED
Crimp Tool, Part # 910 101 125
CRIMP TOOL SETUP
1. Using the Crimp Tool, Part # 910 101 125 (Figure A), with the wire
gauge numbers facing you, squeeze the tool handles together
until the ratchet releases; this will open the tool.
2. Place the contact into the crimp die cavity from the rear side of
the tool. The contact crimp areas will be facing you. Move the
contact up to align the contact on the insulation stop (Figure B).
Place contact into the correct wire cavity (24-28 AWG on the left,
22-24 AWG on the right) according to the wire gauge size in Table
1. Squeeze the crimp handles until ratchet clicks one time to hold
contact in place.
CONTACT SETUP AND CRIMPING
1. Determine the strip length according to wire gauge (Table 1).
Strip wire (Figure C).
2. Insert the wire through the insulation stop and into the wire barrel
of the contact until it stops against the insulation stop.
3. Holding the wire in place, squeeze the handles together until the
tool is completely closed. Continue squeezing, until the last click,
to allow the handle to release fully. Remove the contact from
the cavity (Figure D). The conductor shall be visible on both ends
of the conductor crimp. The insulation crimp should grip securely
around the wire insulation without deforming the insulation.
4. Check to make sure the wire meets the minimum pullout force
shown in Table 1 and the wire and insulation barrel are within the
height and width specications. Measure the crimp height with
an anvil and point micrometer.
