AF8 (M22520/1-01)
UPPER RANGE CRIMP
TOOL AF8 M22520/1-01
The DMC AF8, qualified to MIL-
DTL-22520/1*, has virtually limitless
application within the specified wire
range of 12 through 26 AWG. Over a
thousand turret heads are available to
adapt the tool frame to your specific
military or proprietary contact/wire
combination. The 8 impression crimp,
which is standard in the AF8, assures
absolute maximum tensile strength with
almost every closed barrel contact.
Special indent configurations and
gaging are available upon request.
For proper operation, the tool must
be mated with one of the following
optional accessories: a military
standard or non-military turret head
(TH-XXX Part No. Series), a military
standard or non-military positioner
(TP-XXX Part No. Series), or an
adjustable head (Part No. UH2-5). This
is done simply by orienting the head in
Standard Adjustable Crimp Tool
the keyed position, and by tightening
the hex socket screws provided as part
of the head.
The precision ratchet controls cycling
of the tool in both directions of handle
movement. This assures the same
accurate crimp every time. It’s like
having a quality control inspector at
every work station.
Positive crimp depth is controlled
by an 8 position selector knob
conveniently located on the tool frame.
The operator simply dials the desired
step for the wire being used. This
setting can be secured by use of a
locking pin or safety wire.
The carefully engineered design
achieves the absolute maximum
mechanical advantage and the tool’s
light weight helps minimize operator
fatigue.
A permanent dataplate is affixed
to all turret heads and positioners.
This plate lists specific contact part
numbers, the corresponding position
color code (for 3 position turret heads),
and suggested selector depth settings
for the wire size being used.
The adjustable head (P/N UH2-
5) is ideally suited for lab work and
prototype production applications. This
head is attached in the same manner
as explained above. The selected
contact is inserted through the entry
hole on the opposite side of the tool
frame from the head. The height
adjusting screw is then rotated until
the contact is in the proper position for
crimping. The screw can be secured
with the locknut provided. Some
testing will be necessary to determine
the optimum selector setting for your
contact/wire combination.

Periodic gaging is recommended
to insure accurate calibration. This
can be done easily by setting the
tool selector knob to position #4,
and checking indenter closure with
the M22520/3-1 “GO/NO-GO” gage
(DMC part no. G125).
