COMMERCIAL MANUAL HAND TOOLS A FLEXIBLE APPROACH TO MANUAL CRIMPING APPLICATION TOOLING /// COMMERCIAL MANUAL HAND TOOLS INTRODUCTION TO TOOLING SOLUTIONS TE Connectivity. A Leader in Crimp Quality. Anyone can make a tool to crimp terminals onto a wire. But not everyone can manufacture a tool to crimp the terminals properly. Crimp termination of wires isn’t easy. At least, doing it right isn’t easy. We know. We started it. TE Connectivity developed the technology of hand crimping over 70 years ago. The Secret to a Successful Crimp. Matching the Terminal to the Tooling - Among the many factors that are critical in producing a quality crimp, matching the terminal to the tooling is crucial. Unlike inferior tooling options, TE Connectivity offers engineered solutions that are designed to match the exact crimp geometry of the terminal to be applied on the wire. To create a proper crimp you need to follow these important steps: 1. Wire Selection - AWG and wire insulation thickness varies from wire to wire. Just because two wires are listed at the same AWG, it doesn’t mean their insulation thickness is the same. If you don’t take into account both factors, the copper or aluminum strands may not fit in the wire barrel correctly or the terminal’s insulation support may be too large or small for the wire strand. 2. Wire Prep - In order to properly place a wire in a terminal, the wire insulation must first be stripped to the proper length based on the terminal specifications. If the insulation is cut too short, or too long the wire will not be seated properly into the wire barrel, causing terminal separations or shorting. 3. Crimp Specifications - To create a proper crimp for a TE connector or terminal you should use a TE Connectivity tooling solution that is specifically engineered to the proper Crimp Height, Width and Crimp Geometry of the selected terminal or contact. PAGE 2 APPLICATION TOOLING /// COMMERCIAL MANUAL HAND TOOLS INTRODUCTION TO TOOLING SOLUTIONS What You Need to Know About TE Hand Tools Tool Grade Tool grade is a prime consideration when choosing the appropriate tool for an application. Our hand tools are categorized into three levels: Service, Commercial and Premium. The higher the grade of the tool, the less operator skill is required to repeatedly meet the specified parameters of the crimp. Premium (CERTI-CRIMP Tool) Premium tools include the appropriate crimp die configuration, integral locating, and integral straightening features that permit terminals or contacts crimped in these tools to meet all feature requirements in applicable TEC application (114-) specifications. Most premium tools include an adjustable insulation crimp height feature and the CERTI-CRIMP ratcheting feature, set at the factory, which prevents the ratchet from releasing until the wire crimp jaws bottom within .001. This helps provide consistent repeatability of the crimp. Premium hand tools require the least amount of user dexterity. Commercial (PRO-CRIMPER III Tool) Commercial die assemblies are designed to meet the wire crimp height requirements per the applicable TEC application (114-) specifications. Other feature requirements may or may not be met. Commercial handle assemblies permit the interchange of die assemblies and an adjustable ratcheting feature. Users are responsible for adjusting the ratchet to obtain the correct crimp height. Commercial tools require a greater amount of user dexterity than Premium crimp tools. Service Service tools are generally single thickness, stamped tools. They are not intended to meet any specifications and require a higher level of user dexterity to obtain acceptable results. Tool Type Choosing a tool type may be driven by several factors: simply by type preference, or by the application needs itself, i.e. heavy duty crimp, industry specification requirements, etc. The overall wire range is also a key consideration when choosing the appropriate tool for an application. Often there will be several tools referenced to the same product which have different wire ranges.

Dies are interchangeable in tools from portable hand tools — manual or battery-powered — to pneumatic hand tools and electric bench terminators. It’s a family of tools that you can take from bench to production or into the field, without the need for dies fitted to each kind of tool. They’re suited for R & D, networking applications and on-site maintenance work. Customers can be sure their dies will fit their long-term needs, because they are completely compatible with all tools in the SDE system. They move with a customer as their needs grow. If you know the terminal this tool will help you find the die set. Go to www.tooling.te.com and look for the magnifying glass.

For versatility, all 75 die sets are interchangeable, including those for open-barrel contacts and terminals. Additionally, many of these die sets have multiple cavities for crimping a variety of contact or terminal sizes. PRO-CRIMPER III - Made to Last For reliability, the tool is constructed of durable high carbon steel with extra strength pivot pins. And, for user convenience, the PRO-CRIMPER III hand tool particularly excels. PAGE 6 APPLICATION TOOLING /// COMMERCIAL MANUAL HAND TOOLS COMMERCIAL: MANUAL HAND TOOLING Characteristics of a Commercial Crimping Tool Every Commercial grade hand tool incorporates features for long lasting performance and ease-of-use. They include ergonomic handle designs and a ratchet control system designed to create a proper crimp. Ratchet System for Improved Repeatability Ratchet control is provided for complete crimp cycling; this helps eliminate partial crimps. Also, an emergency ratchet release allows the user to open the tool jaws at any time during the crimp cycle. Applying the Crimp Force To reduce handle force, the linkage was designed to match the forces required to crimp our largest insulated terminal. The result is dramatically less handle force than comparable tools. Also, the angled head and specially designed handles reduce hand stretch and provide comfortable operation. Ensuring a Proper Crimp Locators are mounted on pin-and-socket style tools. They help properly locate the contact in the die set, provide a wire stop, and help minimize contact rotation and bending during crimping.
