1. INTRODUCTION

This tool is designed primarily for field installation,

repair, maintenance work, or prototyping in

industrial, commercial, or institutional applications.

Tyco Electronics offers a variety of tools to satisfy

your performance requirements. For additional

information, contact the Tooling Assistance Center

at 1-800-722-1111.

This instruction sheet covers the use and maintenance

of PRO-CRIMPER III Assembly 58506-3, which

includes PRO-CRIMPER III Frame Assembly 354940-

1 and Crimping Die Assembly 220196-1. The die

assembly crimps AMP Miniature UHF Series Plug,

Reasons for reissue of this document are provided in

Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

Die Assembly 220196-1 consists of an indenter die

and an anvil die, which when closed form two crimping

chambers. The larger chamber crimps the ferrule of

the connector onto the coaxial cable, and the smaller

chamber crimps the center contact onto the center

conductor of the cable. Each die is held in Frame

Assembly 354940-1 by a single screw.

3. DIE INSTALLATION

1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,

then allow the handles to open fully.

2. Insert each die into the tool jaws and align

retaining hole in each die with the associated hole in

the tool frame.

3. Thread retaining screws into the holes, but do not

tighten the screws.

4. Begin to close the tool handles, making sure that

the dies align properly.

Once the anvil has entered the indenter, place a

copper bus bar (1.57 mm ±.050 mm [.062 in. ±.002

in.] diameter) into the center contact section of the

die assembly.

5. Close the tool handles completely and hold the

tool handles together.

6. Tighten the retaining screws with the appropriate

hex wrench.

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

This tool is provided with a crimp adjustment

feature. However, the crimp should first be

inspected according to the appropriate Application

Specification. Refer to Section 5, MAINTENANCE /

INSPECTION, to measure the die opening and, if

necessary, adjust the ratchet before using the tool

to crimp the desired connector to wire.

Each connector must be assembled on a properly

stripped coaxial cable before terminating. Refer to

Figure 2 for stripping dimensions.

This tool will not provide a crimp conforming to

military requirements.



4.1. Plug Assembly

The center contact can be crimped at two locations

in the modified die.



A. Center Contact - Location A

Location A crimps the contact on the tip of the center

conductor.

1. Slip ferrule over the cable as shown in Figure 3,

Detail A.

2. Strip cable to the dimensions shown in Figure 2

and flair the braid.

3. Insert stripped center conductor into plug body

until the cable dielectric butts against the dielectric

inside the plug body. The braid fits over the support

sleeve, as shown in Figure 3, Detail B.

The end of the center conductor will extend from

the end of the center contact for inspection

purposes. After the crimp is finished, the center

conductor is trimmed flush with end of center

contact.

4. Open the crimping dies by squeezing the handles

until the ratchet releases.

5. Place center contact in open tool with face of

connector against locator. See Figure 4. Detents on

the face of the connector must span the locator.

6. Push in slightly on the cable and hold connector

body in place while closing tool handles.

7. Close the handles until the ratchet releases, then

allow the handles to open. Remove crimped

assembly from tool.

B. Center Contact - Location B

Location B crimps the center contact next to the plug

body flange.

1. Place the connector in the opposite side of the

die.

2. Two small holes have been placed in the face of

the tool to clear the two detents on the face of the

plug body.

3. Hold the connector tight against the face of the

die while crimping.

C. Ferrule

Before proceeding with the ferrule crimp, be sure that

the center contact has been properly crimped onto the

center conductor of the cable.

1. Slip collar over connector body.

2. Be sure that the cable's braided shield is flared

away from the cable. Make sure that no strands of

the braided shield enter the connector body.

3. Slide the ferrule up over the braided shield and

onto the connector until the ferrule butts against the

shoulder on the connector body. SeeFigure 3, Detail

4. Place the assembly in the tool as shown in Figure

5. While holding the assembly together, begin to

close the tool handles. Continue holding the

assembly until the dies have closed enough to hold

the assembly in place.

6. Continue to close the tool handles until the

ratchet releases.

7. Allow the tool handles to open and remove the

crimped connector from the dies.

1. Slip the ferrule over the cable as shown in 

Figure 6, Detail A.

2. Strip cable to dimensions in Figure 2 and flair the

braid.

3. Insert stripped cable into the center contact of the

jack until cable dielectric butts against the contact.

See Figure 6, Detail A.

4. Open the crimping dies by squeezing the handles

until the ratchet releases.

5. Center the wire barrel portion of the center

contact on the crimping die. See Figure 7.

6. Hold the contact in place while closing the tool

handles until dies hold contact.

7. Push in slightly on the cable and close tool

handles until the ratchet releases, then allow the

handles to open. Remove the crimped contact from

the tool.

B. Ferrule

Before proceeding with the ferrule crimp, be sure that

the center contact has been properly crimped onto the

center conductor of the cable.

1. Insert the crimped contact into the jack body until

the cable dielectric butts against the dielectric inside

the jack body. The braid fits over the support sleeve.

See Figure 6, Detail B.

2. Slip the ferrule over the braid, butting the flange

against the connector body as shown in Figure 6,

Detail C.

the locator for the plug. The cable should extend in

the direction shown in Figure 7.

4. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,

completing the crimp.

5. Allow the tool handle to open fully and remove

the crimped connector from the dies.

5. MAINTENANCE / INSPECTION

5.1. Maintenance

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants

with a clean soft brush, or a clean, soft, lint-free

cloth. Do NOT use any objects that could damage

the dies or tool.

2. Make sure that the die retaining screws are

properly secured.

3. When the tool is not in use, store it with handles

closed in a clean, dry area.

5.2. Inspection

1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film from

the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable

commercial degreaser.

2. Make certain that all die-retaining screws and die

components are properly secured.

3. Inspect the crimping surfaces for flattened,

chipped, worn, or cracked areas. If damage is

evident, the dies must be replaced. Refer to Section

6, REPLACEMENT.

5.3. Measuring Die Opening

The die assembly will perform correctly as long as:

(1) the product specified is correct for the application,

(2) the specific die assembly is used, (3) the die

assembly has been measured to ensure that the

openings are correct, and (4) the tool has been

adjusted correctly.

Figure 8 provides information on the die opening

sizes.

5.4. Ratchet Adjustment (Figure 9)

The tool assembly crimp height can be adjusted. The

adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle

pressure exerted on the tool jaws and crimping dies

during crimping. If the crimp is not acceptable, adjust

the ratchet as follows:

1. Remove the screw at the ratchet adjustment

wheel so that the wheel can be rotated above the

post that engages the teeth in the wheel.

2. If the crimp is greater than recommended, turn

the wheel counterclockwise to a higher setting. (For

example, if the wheel is set at notch No. 5, move the

wheel to notch No. 6.) If the crimp is less than

recommended, move the wheel clockwise to a

lower setting.

3. Replace and tighten the screw at the ratchet

adjustment wheel and crimp another center contact

and connector ferrule onto a cable and check the

crimps. If the crimp cannot be made to conform to

the appropriate Application Specification, the tool

and/or dies are defective and must be replaced.
