1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the Hand Crimping Tools

listed in Figure 1, which are used to crimp the

terminal types listed in Figure 2.

Dimensions on this sheet are in millimeters

[with inch-equivalent dimensions in brackets].

Figures and illustrations are for identification only

and are not drawn to scale.

REVISION SUMMARY.

The handles and label (if applicable) of the crimping

tools are color–coded to match the color coding of the

connectors to be applied, as listed in Figure 3. The

crimping tools may show more than one color code.

Check Figure 3 to be sure that the correct tool/

connector combination is being used.

For example, tool 47386 can be used to apply PIDG

terminals and splices with a yellow color code, as well

as spare wire caps with a red color code.

Figure 3 lists the number of dots (or rib) that appear

embossed on a crimped item when the connector is

crimped in the correct tooling.

The CERTI–CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control

ensures full crimping of terminals and splices. Once

engaged, the ratchet will not release until the tool

handles have been FULLY closed.
