Instruction Sheet

1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the use of TE Connectivity Hand Crimping Straight Action Hand Tools (SAHT)

2217074-1 and 2280298-1with flip locator which crimps Economy Power 2.5 receptacle contacts listed in

Figure 2.

NOTE

Dimensions are in metric units with [inches in brackets]. Figures and illustrations are for reference only and are not drawn to

scale.

Read these instructions thoroughly before crimping any contacts.

The FRONT OF TOOL (contact side), is where the contact is inserted. The BACK OF TOOL (wire side), is

where the wire is inserted and has the wire size markings above each crimp section.

Each tool features a fixed die (crimper), a movable die (anvil), two crimp sections with applicable wire size

markings, a flip locator, a wire stop, and a ratchet release lever.

Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the handles have been FULLY closed.

CAUTION

The ratchet ensures full crimping of the contact. This is a design feature that ensues maximum electrical and tensile

performance of the crimp. Do NOT readjust the ratchet.

The flip locator positions the contact in the crimping die, and the wire stop aids in locating the wire in the

contact. In use, it rests in the transition area of the connector. See Figures 2 and 3.

The flip locator prevents the contact from bending during the crimping procedure.

The ratchet release lever enables the user to open the partially closed tool handles when necessary.

PROPER USE GUIDELINES
