DEUTSCH Contact Crimping Instructions (English)
Contact Crimping
- Strip ¼” (6.3 mm) insulation from the wire.
- Raise the selector knob and rotate until the arrow is aligned with the wire size to be crimped.
- Loosen the lock nut, and turn to adjust the screw until it stops.
- Insert contact with barrel up. Turn adjusting screw counterclockwise until the contact is flush with the indentor cover. Tighten the lock nut.
- Insert wire into contact. Contact must be centered between indicators. Close handles until the crimp cycle is completed.
- Release the handles and remove crimped contact.
- Inspect the terminal to ensure that all strands are in the crimp barrels. NOTE: The tool must be readjusted for each type/size of contact.
