Hand Crimp Tool for 1CKT Led Conn Wire-to-Board Crimp Terminal
▲Insulation
Crimp Note:
Due to the terminal’s insulation grip design and/or
insulation diameter range, this tool uses “overlap”
form geometry in the insulation punch. This
produces an overlap insulation crimp (A620 –
compliant). While the insulation punch profile may
appear “lopsided”, this is a normal condition for
this tool. See figure to the right. (Some tools with
multiple crimp pockets may not have the “overlap”
profile on all pockets).

To Achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
Profile 22 AWG: 1.22-1.27mm (.048-.050 inch)
Profile 24 AWG: 1.07-1.12mm (.042-.044 inch)
Profile 26 AWG: 0.97-1.03mm (.038-.041 inch)
Tool Qualification Notes:
1. Pull Force should be measured with no
influence from the insulation crimp.
2. The above specifications are guidelines to an
optimum crimp.
Note:
A crimp height chart is provided with this document
as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of
wires, strands, insulation diameters, and
durometers available, actual crimp height
measurements may very slightly. An occasional,
destructive, pull force test should be performed to
check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value Must
exceed the Minimum pull force specifications listed.

Locator Replacement
See the parts list on the last page of this document
for the proper locator order number. Follow the
steps below to replace the locator.
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown in
Figure 7A with your thumb and index finger. The
lower tabs of the locator should disengage from
the hand tool.
3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool. The top
locator hooks should slip out of the top slots
easily. See Figure 7A.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the
hand tool is in the open position.
5. Press the red insert down as far as it will go as
shown in Figure 7B.
6. Holding onto the lower part of the locator with
your thumb and index finger, insert the locators top
hooks (2) into the hand tool top slots.
7. Rotate the locator down and press the lower tabs
into the two bottom slots of the hand tool. To
secure the locator into place, the lower tabs must
snap into place on the hand tool frame.

Right or Left Hand Operation
This hand tool has an added feature that can be
converted from a right handed application to a left
handed application. It is necessary to reverse the
tooling if using the left handed application along with
the locator. Follow the steps below:

tooling.
2. Remove the M3 BHCS which is holding the upper tooling.
3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and replace the M3 BHCS. Make sure the small markings on the
front and back of the hand tool frame, match up and are on the outside of the hand tool frame. See Figure 8
and 9.

4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling and tighten the M3 screws. Be
sure the small markings line up.
5. Reinstall the locator by following the Instructions in the locator
replacement section.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and
responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or
soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected
Figure 10
with a thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. The
tool was engineered for durability but like any other equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum
service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight
RATCHET RELEASE
automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months, will
LEVER
significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil
transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect
the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from
becoming lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry
area.

How to Adjust Tool Preload
(See Figure 12)
This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45
LBS. preload. It may be necessary over
the life of the tool to adjust tool handle
preload force. Listed below are the steps
required to adjust the crimping force of the
hand tool to obtain proper crimp
conditions:
1. Hold the hand tool in the palm of your
hand as shown in Figure 10. Using
the index finger squeeze the link
towards the top of the hand tool frame.
This will release the preload
adjustment wheel.
