1. INTRODUCTION
Quadrax Ferrule Insertion Tools 1976593-[ ] are used
to insert the ferrule into the shell of Quadrax pin and
socket contacts. If used properly, the tool ensures
proper insertion depth.
Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are
provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION (See Figure 1)
Each insertion tool consists of a pliers and a jaw kit
except Tool -5 which includes four jaw kits (1976593-1
through -4). The jaw kit consists of a top jaw, bottom
jaw, and two thumbscrews. The top jaw is designed to
hold the cable and the bottom jaw is designed to hold
the shell during insertion of the ferrule.
The jaws are interchangeable between the pliers (of
the in
sertion tools) and the jaw mounts (of the pliers).
The jaw kits are also available separately (part
numbers are given in Figure 1).
