HD-38125-8 PACKARD CRIMPING TOOL
Matching Terminal To Crimper
Metri-Pack connectors embossed with the initials P.E.D. require
Packard crimp tools to crimp terminals to wire leads.
Terminals are crimped twice to a wire lead, once over the wire
core and a second time over the insulation/seal.
See Figure A-17. A completed crimp may require two different
crimping dies found on PACKARD TERMINAL CRIMP
TOOL (Part No. HD-38125-6) and/or PACKARD TERMINAL
CRIMPER (Part No. HD-38125-7). The terminal (pin or socket)
and the wire lead gauge will determine the core crimp die and
the insulator/seal die.
The PACKARD CRIMPING TOOL (Part No. HD-38125-8) will
also crimp sealed splice connectors in wire gauge sizes 18-20,
14-16 and 10-12.
Preparing Wire Lead
Use a wire striper to strip off the insulation and expose 5/32
in. (4.0 mm) of wire core.
Crimping Wire Core
Metri-Pack terminal crimps require two steps. Always perform
Crimping Wire Core before Crimping Insulation/Seal.
1. Squeeze and release handles until ratchet automatically
opens.
2. Identify the corresponding sized nest for the core crimp.
3. Position the core crimp in the die. Be Sure the core crimp
tails are facing the forming jaws.
4. Gently squeeze the handles until crimpers just secure the
core crimp tails.
5. Insert stripped wire between crimp tails. Verify that wire
is positioned so that short pair of crimp tails squeeze core
wire strands, while long pair is positioned over the insula-
tion or seal material.
6. Squeeze handles tightly closed. Release grip and the tool
will automatically open.
