INTRODUCTION
Hand Tool Function
The HT-0095 is a manually operated hand tool designed for crimping loose piece (individual)
Mini PV™ terminals to various sizes of wire.
Physical Description
The major components, which make up the HT-0095, are identified in Figure 1. These
components include a frame, lever, tooling and tooling holders, and terminal holding pins. The
heart of the hand tool is the tooling. The tooling performs the crimping operation and is divided into
top and bottom component groups. The top group consists of those parts, which remain stationary
with the frame. The bottom group contains those parts, which move with the lever. The HT-0095 is
equipped with tooling for crimping two different ranges of wire sizes. These are identified as "A"
and "B" on a plate affixed to the hand tool frame. The "A" side tooling is for crimping terminals to
wire sizes ranging from 28-32 AWG. The "B" side tooling is used for wire sizes from 22-26 AWG.

Principles of Operation
The lever attaches to the lower tooling and provides the mechanical advantage to generate the
necessary crimping pressure. As the lever is closed, a ratchet mechanism engages to prevent the
lever from opening until the crimping cycle is complete. When the lever is pulled closed, the lower
tooling and terminal are pushed up against the upper tooling. The crimp is formed between the
wire and insulation barrel anvils and the wire and insulation crimpers. Once closed, the ratchet
releases and allows a spring to pull the lever open.

CAUTION
If the terminal and the tooling are not compatible, damage to the tooling could result. If you wish to use a
terminal with a part number other than the one that was ordered for the HT-0095, check with your distributor
or with FCI Electronics to be sure that the new terminal number is compatible with your hand tool.
OPERATION
Operating Procedures
WARNING
To prevent hand injury, keep fingers from between the upper and lower tooling and from
between the lever and handle when closing hand tool.
1. Hold the hand tool so that the lever is on the left. With your index finger, push and hold the
terminal holder in its forward position (see Figure 2).
2. Insert the disconnect (box) portion of the terminal, with "U" shaped barrels up, onto the holding
pin and against the pin shoulder. While holding the terminal against the shoulder, release the
terminal holder. This ensures that the terminal remains in proper position while moving over the
anvil.

3. While grasping the lever and the handle portion of the frame, insert a wire so that the end of
the insulation is centered between the wire barrel and the insulation barrel of the terminal (see
Figure 3), and then close the hand tool lever completely. This will crimp the terminal to the
wire(s).
Figure 3. Crimping Terminal to Wire
4. Release the lever to open the hand tool and remove the crimped terminal from the holding pin
by lightly pulling straight out on the wire.
CAUTION
The crimp height for this hand tool was factory adjusted. Any random changes to this
adjustment could cause a defective crimp or damage to the tooling.
Terminal Inspection
The crimped terminal should be inspected to ensure that the tooling is correctly aligned and that
the wire was correctly inserted. Make the following visual checks (see Figure 4).
NOTE: If inspection of the crimped terminal reveals any defects, the terminal has not been
properly crimped and should be discarded.
•
Check that all wire strands were crimped within the wire barrel.
•
Check that the edge of the wire insulation lies between the insulation and wire barrel.
•
Check that the bellmouth(s) were formed correctly.
