Using the Crimp Tool, Part # 910 101 125 (Figure A), with the wire gauge numbers facing you, squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet releases; this will open the tool. 2. Place the contact into the correct crimp locator/die cavity (Figure B) from the front side of the tool. The contact crimp areas will be facing you. Figure A. Crimp Tool, Part # 910 101 125. contact setup and crimping 1. Determine the strip length according to wire gauge (Table 1). Strip wire (Figure C). Insulation stop 2. Insert the wire into correct locator/die cavity until it stops against the insulation stop. 3. Holding the wire in place, squeeze the handles together until the tool is completely closed. Continue squeezing, until the last click, to allow the handle to release fully. Remove the contact from the cavity (Figure D). The conductor shall be visible on both ends of the conductor crimp. The insulation crimp should grip securely around the wire insulation without deforming the insulation. Figure B. Insulation stop on crimp tool. [3.18] .125 Figure C. Correctly stripped wire. 4. Check to make sure the wire meets the minimum pullout force shown in Table 1 and the wire and insulation barrel are within the height and width specifications. Measure the crimp height with an anvil and point micrometer. CONDUCTOR CRIMP INSULATION CRIMP Figure D. Correctly crimped contact. Table 1.
