INSULATED TERMINAL CRIMPING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the handles in the
open
position, and the
back of the terminal tongue turned toward the
color dots, insert the terminal into the proper
crimp pocket (See Figure 1). Refer to product
packaging for selection of proper crimp pocket.
2. Close handles until the barrel is held snugly in
position — do not deform the barrel.
3. Insert the stripped wire into the terminal until
the wire stops. Refer to product packaging for
wire strip length.
4. Crimp the terminal by closing the handles until
the controlled cycle mechanism releases.
Upon release, the handles will open automati-
cally and the crimped terminal can be removed.
NOTE:
Visual inspection dots (formed by the
crimp dies) on the insulation sleeve verify
proper crimp cycle.
• One (1) dot for PKT A crimp pocket
• Two (2) dots for red and blue crimp
pocket
• Three (3) dots for yellow crimp pocket

INSULATED DISCONNECT CRIMPING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the handles in the
open
position, insert
the disconnect in the proper crimp pocket (See
Figure 1), so that the barrel is flush with the
crimp die (See Figure 2). Refer to product
packaging for selection of proper crimp pocket.
2. Close the tool handles until the barrel is held
snugly in place—do not deform the barrel.
3. Insert the stripped wire into the disconnect.
Refer to product packaging for wire strip length.
Crimp the disconnect by closing the handles
until the controlled cycle mechanism releases.
Upon release, the handles will open automati-
cally and the crimped disconnect can be
removed.
After crimping, inspect that the crimp
is centered on the disconnect barrel in order to
achieve optimal pullout performance.
