1. INTRODUCTION
Crimping Die Assembly 220195-1 is designed to be
used in THE PRO-CRIMPER* III Hand Tool Frame
354940-1 to crimp the Braid-Pic terminals shown in
Figure 1. Read these instructions thoroughly before
using the die assembly.
For detailed information on the use and maintenance
of PRO-CRIMPER III Hand Tool Frame 354940-1,
refer to Instruction Sheet 408-9930, which is packaged
with the tool frame.

2. DESCRIPTION
The die assembly consists of an indenter (upper die)
and an anvil (lower die). The indenter is installed in the
stationary portion of the tool head and the anvil is
installed in the moving portion.
When closed, the die assembly forms two crimping
sections. One section is an F-crimp for the braid
termination barrel; the other is an O-crimp for the

insulation support barrel. The Braid-Pic terminals
designed for braid termination only have a rectangular
tab which - after crimping - must be bent to a 90° angle
for insertion into a pc board. (Both the center contact
of the cable and the tab are then wave soldered,
permanently attaching the terminal/cable assembly to
the pc board.)
3. INSTALLING DIE ASSEMBLY
1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die
retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Orient the die assembly with the hand tool as
shown in Figure 2.
3. Insert the die retaining screws through the jaws
and dies, and tighten the screws just enough to hold
the dies in place. Do not tighten the screws
completely at this time.
4. Insert a piece of paper between the dies. (The
paper will help align the dies when the handles are
squeezed.)
5. .Carefully close the tool handles, making sure
that the anvils and crimpers align properly. Continue
closing the tool handles until the ratchet in the tool
frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvils

and crimpers in place, then tighten both die
retaining screws.
To remove the dies, close the tool handles until the
ratchet releases, then remove the two die retaining
screws and slide the dies out of the tool jaws

4. Place the terminal-cable assembly between the
dies with the cable extending away from you, as
shown in Figure 5.
Figure 2
4. CABLE PREPARATION AND CRIMPING PROCEDURE
1. .Strip the cable as shown in Figure 3.
2. Select a terminal and then place the stripped
cable into the braid termination section of the
terminal, using a straight downward motion. Make
sure that the braid seats in the "pic-type" braidtermination barrel and that the outer insulation fits
into the support barrel. See Figure 4.

5. Squeeze the tool handles together until the
ratchet releases, completing the crimp. Make sure
the terminal-cable assembly remains in place during
the process.
6. Bend the tab of the crimped terminal
approximately 90° as shown in Figure 6.
7. Using the pc board layout shown in Figure 7, drill
holes to accept the bent tab.

3. Pick up the hand tool and squeeze the handles
together until the ratchet releases, allowing the
crimping dies to spread apart. Then orient the tool
so that the insulation crimp (O-crimp) faces you and
squeeze the handles slightly to partially close the
dies.

5. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
Crimp height inspection is performed using a
micrometer with a modified anvil commonly referred to
as a crimp height comparator. Refer to Instruction
Sheet 408-7424 for detailed information on obtaining
and using crimp height comparators.
To inspect the crimp height, proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 8 and select the correct terminal
for the wire being used.

408-2833
3. Using a crimp height comparator, measure the
braid barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 8. If the
crimp height conforms to that shown in the chart,
the tool is considered dimensionally correct. If not,
refer to Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT,
for information on adjusting the crimp height.

For additional information concerning the use of the
crimp height comparator, refer to instruction sheet
408-7424.
6. CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (FIGURE 9)
1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
Figure 6
2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel from
the locator side of the tool.
3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a tighter
crimp is required, rotate the adjustment wheel
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a higher-numbered
setting. If a looser crimp is required, rotate the
adjustment wheel CLOCKWISE to a lowernumbered setting.
4. Replace the lockscrew.

(Use No. 62 Drill]
5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp
height. If the dimension is acceptable, replace and
secure the lockscrew. If the dimension is
unacceptable, continue to adjust the ratchet, and
again measure a sample crimp.

7. MAINTENANCE
Ensure that the dies are clean by wiping them with a
clean, soft cloth. Remove any debris with a clean, soft
brush. Do not use objects that could damage the dies.
When the dies are not in use, mate them and store the
3 of 4
408-2833
dies in a clean, dry area. Store the tool with the
handles closed to prevent objects from becoming
lodged within the jaws.
Available separately, PRO-CRIMPER III Repair Kit
679221-1 includes a replacement nut and a variety of
pins, rings, screws, and springs for use on the PROCRIMPER II Hand Tool Frame.
8. VISUAL INSPECTION
The crimping dies should be inspected on a regular
basis to ensure that they have not become worn or
damaged. Inspect the crimp sections for flattened,
chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage or
abnormal wear is evident, the dies must be replaced.
See Section 9, REPLACEMENT.
