1. INTRODUCTION

Double Action Hand Crimping Tools 525690 and

525691 crimp a wide variety of PIDG* terminals and

splices and PLASTI--GRIP* terminals and splices

onto stranded copper wire sizes 20 through 14 AWG.

See Figure 1. Read these instructions thoroughly

before using the tools.

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in

millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are

not drawn to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

Each tool features a fixed jaw (crimper), a movable

jaw (anvil), a locator/insulation stop, and a ratchet

attached to a handle.

These tools are members of the CERTI--CRIMP*

hand crimping tool family. The ratchet on these tools

ensures full crimping of the product. Once engaged,

the ratchet will not release until the handles have

been FULLY closed.

The jaws bottom before the ratchet releases. This

design ensures maximum electrical and tensile

performance of the crimp. DO NOT re--adjust the

ratchet.

The locator/insulation stop positions the product

between the jaws and aids in locating the wire in the

product. When closed, the jaws form a crimping

chamber with two sections: an insulation barrel

section and a wire barrel section. The insulation barrel

section crimps the insulation barrel of the product

onto the wire insulation and, simultaneously, the wire

barrel section crimps the wire barrel of the product

onto the wire conductors.
