INTRODUCTION SDE-SA Commercial Hand Tool Assemblies 2217266- for the PTL (Power Triple Lock) connectors consist of the tools and die sets shown in Figure 1. The tools consist of SDE-SA Frame Assembly 9-1478240-0 (Instruction Sheet 408-8851) and die assemblies listed in Figure 1. These tools are used to crimp the terminal numbers provided in the table in Figure 1. NOTE Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in millimeters with inches in brackets . Figures and illustrations are for reference only and are not drawn to scale. Reasons for revision are provided in Section 9, REVISION SUMMARY. Read these instructions thoroughly before crimping connectors. 2. DESCRIPTION The tool frame features two jaws, a handle, ratchet adjustment wheel, and an emergency ratchet release. 2014 TE Connectivity family of companies TOOLING ASSISTANCE CENTER 1-800-722-1111 This controlled document is subject to change. 1 of 5 All Rights Reserved PRODUCT INFORMATION 1-800-522-6752 For latest revision and Regional Customer Service, *Trademark visit our website at www.te.com.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS 408-32082 The die set consists of an indenter (upper die) and an anvil (lower die). The tool frame holds a die assembly with two crimping chambers. See Figure 1. Die retaining screws are used to secure the dies in the tool frame. The tools feature a ratchet and an adjustment wheel with a range of settings. The ratchet ensures that the tool has completed the cycle and will not release until the handles have been FULLY closed, unless the emergency ratchet release is rotated to manually release the ratchet. The adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle pressure exerted on the dies during the crimping procedure. CAUTION The dies bottom before the ratchet releases. This feature ensures maximum tensile performance of the crimp. DO NOT re- adjust the ratchet. 3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY (Figure 1) 1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die retaining screws from the tool jaws. 2. Place the wire anvil so that the chamfered side and the marked surfaces face outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame. 3. Insert the die retaining screw through the jaw and through the anvil die, and tighten the screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time. 4. Place the wire crimper so that the chamfered side and the marked surface face outward, when mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame. 5. Insert the die retaining screw through the jaw and through the crimper die, and tighten the screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time. 6. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure that the anvil and crimper align properly. Continue closing the tool handles until the ratchet in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvil and crimper in place, then tighten both die retaining screws. 7. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw and tighten the nut enough to hold the locator assembly in place. 8. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, remove the nut, locator assembly, the four die retaining screws, and slide the anvil and crimper out of the tool jaws. NOTE The ratchet has detents with audible clicks as the handles are closed. The ratchet releases on the sixth click. 4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE NOTE These tools are provided with a crimp adjustment feature. Initially, the crimp height should be verified as specified in Figure 3. Refer to Section 5, Crimp Height Inspection, and Section 6, Crimp Height Adjustment, to verify crimp height before using the tool to crimp desired contacts and wire sizes. Refer to the table in Figure 1 and select wire of the specified size and insulation diameter. Strip the wire to the length indicated in Figure 1, taking care not to nick or cut wire strands.
