1. INTRODUCTION
PRO--CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool Assembly
58448--2 consists of Die Assembly 58448--3 and
PRO--CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool Frame
354940--1. The die assembly consists of crimping
dies and a locator assembly.
Read these instructions thoroughly before crimping
any contacts.
NOTE
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in metric
units [with U.S. customary units in brackets].
Figures are not drawn to scale.
2. DESCRIPTION
The tool features a tool frame with a stationary jaw
and handle, moving jaw, moving handle, and
adjustable ratchet that ensures full contact crimping.
The tool frame holds a die assembly with two
crimping chambers. See Figure 1.
The die assembly features a wire anvil, insulation
anvil, wire crimper, and insulation crimper.
Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used
to position and secure the dies in the tool frame.
Attached to the outside of the frame is a locator
assembly, which contains a locator and contact
retainer. A nut is used on the upper die retaining
screw to hold the locator assembly in place.

3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE ASSEMBLY
AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY
(Figure 2)
1. Open the tool handles, and remove the two die
retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that
the chamfered sides and marked surfaces face
outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of the
tool frame.
3. Insert the two short die retaining pins through
the tool frame and into the anvils.
4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the
jaw and through both anvil dies, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do
not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
5. Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper so
that their chamfered sides and their marked
surfaces face outward, when mounted in the
stationary jaw of the tool frame.
6. Insert the two long die retaining pins (supplied
with the locator assembly) through the tool frame
and into the crimpers.
7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the
jaw and through both crimper dies, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do
not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
8. 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.
9. Remove the pin from the center hole in the
locator assembly. Place the locator assembly over
the end of the long die retaining screw and long die
retaining pins. Position the locator assembly
against the side of the tool jaw.
10. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw
and tighten the nut enough to hold the locator
assembly in place, while still allowing the locator to
slide up and down.
11. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the
ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator
assembly, the two die retaining screws, and the
four die retaining pins, and slide the anvils and
crimpers out of the tool jaws.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
NOTE
i
This tool is provided with a crimp adjustment
feature. Initially, the crimp height should be
verified as specified in Section 5, CRIMP
HEIGHT INSPECTION, and Section 6,
RATCHET (Crimp Height) ADJUSTMENT, before
using the tool to crimp desired contacts.
Refer to Figure 1, and select wire of the specified size
and insulation diameter. Strip the wire to the length
indicated, taking care not to nick or cut wire strands.
Select an applicable contact and identify the
appropriate crimping chamber according to the wire
size markings on the tool.
Refer to Figure 3, and proceed as follows:

of 5
Rev
E
408- 9357
1. Hold the tool so that the front (locator side) is
facing you. Squeeze tool handles together and
allow them to open fully.
2. Insert the contact—mating end first—into the
hole in the locator which corresponds with the
appropriate crimping chamber. Make sure that the
open “U” of the wire barrel and insulation barrel
face the stationary jaw.
CAUTION
Do NOT attempt to close the tool handles when
locator contact retainer is between the dies.
Damage to the tool jaws or locator may result.
NOTE
The crimped contact may stick in the crimping
area, but can be removed by pushing downward
on the top of the locator (see Figure 3).
i
7. Check the contact crimp height as described in
Section 5, CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION. If
necessary, adjust the crimp height as described in
Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
!
5. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
Crimp height inspection is performed through the use
of a micrometer with a modified anvil, commonly
referred to as a crimp--height comparator. TE does
not manufacture or market crimp--height comparators.
Detailed information on obtaining and using
crimp--height comparators can be found in instruction
sheet 408--7424.
Proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 4 and select the
maximum
size
wire for the crimping chamber.
2. Refer to Section 3, CRIMPING PROCEDURE,
and crimp the contact accordingly.
3. Using a crimp height comparator, measure the
wire barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 4. If the
crimp height conforms to that shown, the tool is
considered dimensionally correct. If not, the tool
must be adjusted. Refer to Section 6, CRIMP
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
3. Slide the locator contact retainer out from
between the dies (spring tension will pull the
locator down). Make sure that the wire stop enters
the contact wire stop slot between the wire barrel
and contact shoulder. Release contact retainer.
CAUTION
Make sure that both sides of the contact
insulation barrel are started evenly into the
crimping chamber. Do NOT attempt to crimp an
improperly positioned contact.
!
4. Hold the contact in position, and squeeze the
tool handles together until ratchet engages
sufficiently to hold the contact in position. Do NOT
deform insulation barrel or wire barrel.
5. Insert stripped wire into contact insulation and
wire barrels until it is butted against the wire stop,
as shown in Figure 3.
6. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles
together until ratchet releases. Allow tool handles
to open and remove crimped contact.

7. MAINTENANCE
Ensure that the tool and 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 tool. When not in use, keep handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the crimping dies, and store in a clean, dry area.

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 crimping chambers for
flattened, chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage
or abnormal wear is evident, the tool must be
replaced. See Section 9, REPLACEMENT.
6. RATCHET (Crimp Height) ADJUSTMENT
(Figure 5)
1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
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 lower--numbered
setting.
4. Re--assemble the lockscrew.
5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp
height.
6. If the dimension is unacceptable, continue to
adjust the ratchet, and again measure a sample
crimp.
9. REPLACEMENT
Customer--replaceable parts are shown in Figure 1.
Available separately, PRO--CRIMPER III Hand
Crimping Tool Repair Kit 679221--1 includes a
replacement nut and a variety of pins, rings, screws,
