INTRODUCTION Hand Crimping Tools 46447, 47410 (crimps 12-10 AWG terminals on a 45 angle), 49592, 49935, 69363, 525693, 574573, 1490046-1, and 1490047-1 (shown in Figure 1) are used to crimp SOLISTRAND* and STRATO-THERM* terminals and splices (listed in Figure 2) onto stranded wire sizes 26 through 10 AWG. Read these instructions thoroughly before using the tool. NOTE Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in millimeters with inch equivalents in brackets . Figures and illustrations are for reference only, and are not drawn to scale. Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY. 2. DESCRIPTION Each tool consists of a CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet and two crimping jaws (indenter and anvil) containing one, two, or three crimping chambers. Each tool is marked with the wire size range for each crimping chamber. See Figure 1. Full crimping of the terminal or splice is assured by the CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet. Once engaged, the ratchet does not release until the tool handles have been FULLY closed. CAUTION The crimping jaws bottom before the ratchet releases. This feature ensures maximum electrical and tensile performance of the crimp. Do NOT re-adjust the ratchet. 3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE Strip the wire according to the dimensions listed in Figure 2. The strip length is determined by the type of terminal or splice and by the wire size. Do not nick or cut the wire strands. Proceed as follows: 1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases. Allow the tool handles to open fully. 2. Center the terminal or splice wire barrel in the appropriate crimping chamber. For terminals, make sure that the flat side of the tongue faces the anvil or the nest for splices, make sure that the brazed seam (when visible) is toward the indenter or, the nest. See Figure 3. 3. While holding the terminal or splice in place, squeeze the tool handles together just until the jaws begin to close on the wire barrel. Do NOT deform the wire barrel. 4. Insert the stripped wire into the wire barrel, making sure that the wire insulation does not enter the wire barrel. 2014 TE Connectivity family of companies TOOLING ASSISTANCE CENTER 1-800-722-1111 This controlled document is subject to change. 1 of 7 All Rights Reserved PRODUCT INFORMATION 1-800-522-6752 For latest revision and Regional Customer Service, *Trademark visit our website at www.te.com.

While holding the wire in place, squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet releases, then allow the tool handles to open fully. 6. To crimp the other half of a butt splice, position the uncrimped wire barrel in the crimping chamber, and repeat the crimping procedure. NOTE If splice cannot be turned for crimping other half, turn the tool around. NOTE Terminals and splices can also be rotated 180 with the seam toward the nest. 4. CRIMP INSPECTION Inspect crimped terminals and splices by checking the features described in Figure 4. Poor crimps can be avoided by carefully following the procedures provided in Section 3, and by following the tool maintenance procedures provided in Section 5. 2 of 7 Rev P
