Make sure that the flange on the end of the center NOTE contact butts against the crimping die. See  Figure 3. Crimping Ferrule i 3. Crimp the center contact by holding the cable in place; then close the tool handles until the ratchet Crimping Die releases. Shoulder on (Ref) Connector Body 4.2. Ferrule Butts Against Die 1. Insert the crimped center contact into the connector body until the cable dielectric butts against the dielectric inside of the connector body. The flared braid will then fit around the support sleeve of the connector body. Ferrule on Anvil of Crimping Die 2. Slide the ferrule forward over the braid until the ferrule butts against the shoulder on the connector Typical RF body. Connector (Ref) 3. Place the ferrule on the appropriate anvil of the die assembly so that the shoulder on the connector body is butted against the die. See Figure 4. Figure 4 4. Holding the assembly in place, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases.

The tool frame assembly ratchet mechanism features Available separately, epair Kit 679221-1 includes a an adjustment wheel with eight settings. The variety of pins, rings, screws, and springs. If the dies adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle are damaged or worn excessively, they must be pressure exerted on the tool jaws and crimping dies replaced. Order the repair kit and replaceable parts during crimping. If the crimp is not acceptable, adjust through your TE Representative, or call 1-800-526- the ratchet as follows: 5142, or send a facsimile of your purchase order to 1- 1. Sufficiently loosen the screw at the ratchet 717-986-7605, or write to: adjustment wheel so that the wheel can be rotated above the post that engages the teeth in the wheel.
