Contact Crimping
VISUAL INSPECTION HOLE
2. Using correct crimp tool and locator, cycle the tool once to be sure the indentors are open. Insert
contact and wire into locator. Squeeze tool handles firmly and completely to insure a proper crimp. The
tool will not release unless the crimp indentors in the tool head have been fully actuated.
1. Insert stripped wire into contact crimp pot.
Wire must be visible thru inspection hole.
3. Release crimped contact and wire from tool. Be
certain the wire is visible thru inspection hole in
contact.
Contact Insertion
2. Using proper plastic or metal insertion tool for
corresponding contact, position wire in tip of the tool
so that the tool tip butts up against the contact
shoulder.
3. Press tool against contact shoulder and, with
firm and even pressure, insert wired contact and
tool tip into center contact cavity. A slight click may
be heard as metal retaining tines snap into place
behind contact shoulder.
1. Remove hardware from plug or receptacle and
slip over wire bundle in proper order for
reassembly.
5. After all contacts are inserted, fill any empty
cavities with wire sealing plugs, Ressemble plug
or receptacle hardware.
4. Remove tool and pull back lightly on wire to make
sure contact is properly seated. Repeat operation with
remainder of contacts to be inserted, beginning with
the center cavity and working outward in alternating
rows.
Contact Extraction
1. Remove hardware from plug or receptacle
and slide hardware back along wire bundle.
2. Using plastic or metal extraction tool with proper
color code corresponding to contact size, place wire in
tool.
3. Insert tool into contact cavity until tool tip
bottoms against the contact shoulder, expanding
clip retaining tines.
4. Hold wire firmly in tool and extract wired
contact and tool. Repeat operation for all
contacts to be extracted.
