1. INTRODUCTION

PRO-CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool Assembly 318452-1 consists of Die Assembly 318452-2 and

PRO-CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool Frame 354940-1. The hand tool assembly is used to crimp

COAXICON* 50-Ohm RF Series BNC Commercial Plug Connector 6-227079-8 onto Belden 89907

RG/U cable.

For connector assembly and cable stripping procedures, refer to Instruction Sheet 408-2798. For additional

information on the hand tool frame, refer to Instruction Sheet 408-9930.

Read these instructions thoroughly before using the hand tool assembly.

2. DESCRIPTION (Figures 1 and 2)

The hand tool assembly features a tool frame with a stationary jaw and handle, a moving jaw, a moving handle,

and an adjustable ratchet that ensures full connector crimping.

The tool frame holds a die assembly with two crimping chambers. The die assembly features a wire anvil, an

insulation anvil, a wire indenter, and an insulation indenter. Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used

to position and secure the dies in the tool frame.

Belden is a trademark.

PROPER USE GUIDELINES

Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low

volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.

PRO-CRIMPER* III Hand Crimping

Tool Assembly 318452-1 with

Die Assembly 318452-2

The PRO-CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool is a “Commercial” grade tool

and is designed primarily for field installation, repair, maintenance work, or

prototyping in industrial, commercial, or institutional applications. Product

crimped with this tool will meet the crimp height requirement for hand tools

in the appropriate 114 series specification, but may not comply with other

feature parameters of the specification. TE Connectivity offers a variety of

tools to satisfy your performance requirements. For additional information,

contact the Tooling Assistance Center at 1-800-722-1111.

3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE ASSEMBLY (Figure 2)

1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die retaining screws from the tool jaws.

2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that their chamfered sides and their marked surfaces face

outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame.

3. Insert the two die retaining pins.

4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the jaw and through both anvil dies, and tighten the screw

just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time.

5. Place the wire indenter and insulation indenter so that their chamfered sides and their marked

surfaces face outward, when mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame.

6. Insert the two die retaining pins.

7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the jaw and through both indenter dies, and tighten the

screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time.

8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure that the anvils and indenters align properly. Continue

closing the tool handles until the ratchet in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvils

and indenters in place, then tighten both die retaining screws.

9. To remove, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, remove the two die retaining screws and

the four die retaining pins, and slide the anvils and indenters out of the tool jaws.

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

NOTE

This tool is provided with a crimp adjustment feature. Initially, the crimp height should be verified as specified in Figures 5

and 6. Refer to Section 5, Inspection, and Section 6, Crimp height Adjustment, to verify crimp before using the tool to crimp

desired connectors and wire sizes.

Slide the ferrule onto the cable and strip the cable according to the dimensions provided in the instructions

packaged with the connector. Take care not to nick or cut wire strands. Proceed as follows:

4.1. Center Contact (Figure 3)

1. Slide center contact onto stripped conductor. Insert center contact assembly into the partially closed

center contact crimping chamber on the anvil die. Make sure the center contact flange is against the

edge of the die as shown in Figure 3.

2. While holding the cable in place, crimp the center contact by closing the tool handles until the ratchet

releases.

3. Allow the handles to open fully, and remove the crimped center contact from the die assembly.

Figure 3

4.2. Ferrule (Figure 4)

1. Flare the cable braid and insert the crimped center contact into the connector body until the cable

dielectric is against the dielectric inside the connector body. The flared braid will then fit over the

support sleeve of the connector body.

2. Slide the ferrule forward over the braid until the ferrule is against the connector body.

3. Place the ferrule in the crimping chamber on the anvil die so that the shoulder of the connector body is

against the edge of the die. Refer to Figure 4.

4. Holding the assembly in place, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases.

5. Allow the handles to open fully, and remove the crimped assembly from the die assembly.
