1. Introduction & Purpose

️· This manual covers the operation, maintenance, and inspection of Tyco Electronics CERTI-CRIMP tools used for crimping connectors onto shielded wires.
️· It is intended for technicians and operators responsible for using the tools.
️· The manual also details inspection procedures to ensure the tools are functioning correctly.

2. Tool Operation and Die Set Information (Crimping Process)

️· The tool is used to make secure crimps on connectors. Specific steps are outlined to make a test crimp.
️· The document references Paragraph 2.6,B for details on the crimping process itself (which is not included in this extracted text).

3. Inspection and Maintenance

️· Die Closure Dimensions: Critical. The manual provides instructions for checking the die closures using GO/NO-GO plug gages. Accurate die closures are essential for a quality crimp.
- Procedure:
1. Clean dies.
2. Insert dies in tool.
3. Bottom the dies.
4. Use GO/NO-GO plug gages. The GO gage *must* pass; the NO-GO gage must not.
- Figure 14: *This is crucial. It lists the GO/NO-GO dimensions (A, B, C, R) for various die sets. This table is difficult to reproduce accurately due to the formatting and lack of direct inclusion.*
️· CERTI-CRIMP Tool Ratchet Inspection: The ratchet feature prevents premature opening of the tool. A small shim (less than .001") should be able to be inserted between the bottomed dies to be satisfactory.
️· Replacement Parts: Tyco Electronics offers replacement die inserts. Refer to Customer Service (038-035) for ordering information. (PO Box 3608, Harrisburg PA 17105-3608).
- Figure 16: Lists die sets and their corresponding part numbers for both male and female dies (but is difficult to capture completely).

4. Key Components & Tables (Summary)

️· Plug Gages (Figure 14): GO/NO-GO dimensions for various die sets. This is a table of critical dimensions. (See note above - requires visual access to the original document to fully understand).
️· Replacement Die Sets (Figure 16): Lists part numbers for male and female dies for various die set numbers.

5. Revision Summary

️· A log of changes made to the document.

6. Potential Issues/Observations About the Original Text:

️· Paragraph References: There are many references to "Paragraphs" (e.g., "Paragraph 2.6, B"). The full content of those paragraphs is *not* provided in this extract, so the context of those references is missing.
️· Table Formatting: The tables (Figures 14 and 16) are difficult to reproduce accurately in a text format. They are tabular data and would ideally be presented in that format.
️· Lack of Detailed Tool Description: The manual assumes a level of familiarity with the CERTI-CRIMP tool. A full description of its components and operation is not provided.
️· Organization: The flow of information could be improved. For example, a general description of the tool might come before the inspection procedures.
