Crimping Tools and Dies

28 SEP 12 Rev C

PROPER USE GUIDELINES

Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use

and low volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.

‡For use in Hand Tool 69710 or Pneumatic Tool 69365. †Engineering controlled.

Figure 1

1. INTRODUCTION

The Series TNC Connectors listed in Figure 1 are

used with Hand Tool 69811, with Dies 220006-1 in

Hand Tool 69710, or Pneumatic Tool 69365.

2. CRIMP END ASSEMBLY

1. Slip the ferrule on the cable, then strip the cable

and flair braid as shown in Figure 2.

2. Insert stripped conductor into the wire barrel on

the crimp end. Twist crimp end slightly to ease entry

of wire.

Figure 2

3. Push crimp end back under braid so that the

braid passes over and around the support sleeve.

Apply sufficient pressure to cause the cable

dielectric to bottom against the dielectric of the

crimp end. See Figure 2. Twist the crimp end

slightly to ensure bottoming.

4. Slide the ferrule forward and over the braid on the

crimp end as far as it will go. Crimp end is now

ready to be crimped. See Figure 2.

3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

3.1. Hand Tool 69811

1. Open crimping dies by closing the tool handles

until the CERTI-CRIMP* hand crimping tool ratchet

control releases. Note that once the ratchet is

engaged, the handles cannot be opened until they

are fully closed.

2. The crimping tools have double sets of dies, see

Figure 3, to crimp the braid ferrule and wire barrel of

the jack or plug crimp end. Ferrule and wire barrel

are crimped at the same time.

3. Place the crimp end in the crimping dies as

shown in Figure 3.
