TE Connectivity PRO-CRIMPER III Instruction Sheet page 2

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 9, REVISION SUMMARY.
NOTE
All dimensions on this instruction sheet are in millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are not drawn to scale.
CAUTION
Terminals crimped with Tool 58433-3 or with Die Assembly 58423-1 are not Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) or
CSA International.
DESCRIPTION
The tool frame features a stationary jaw and handle, a moving jaw and handle, and an adjustable ratchet that
ensures full crimping. The tool frame holds the die assembly. See Figure 1.
The die assembly consists of an anvil and indenter. When closed, the dies form three crimping chambers. The
indenter is marked with the letters R, B, and Y which correspond with the color of the terminal insulation (red,
blue, or yellow). Die retaining screws are used to secure the dies in the tool frame. See Figure 2.
INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE ASSEMBLY
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, then allow the handles to open fully.
NOTE
The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks as the tool handles are closed.
2. Remove the two die retaining screws and die retaining pins (pins will not be used for this die
assembly) from the tool jaws.
3. Place the anvil in the moving jaw so that the marked surface faces outward. Insert the die retaining
screw through the hole of the moving jaw and hole of the anvil and tighten the screw just enough to
hold the anvil in place. DO NOT completely tighten the screw.
4. Place the indenter in the stationary jaw so that the marked surface faces outward. Insert the die
retaining screw through the hole of the stationary jaw and hole of the indenter and tighten the screw
just enough to hold the indenter in place. DO NOT completely tighten the screw.
5. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure the anvil and indenter align properly. Continue closing
the tool handles until the ratchet engages sufficiently to hold the anvil and indenter in place, then
tighten both die retaining screws.
6. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, remove the two die retaining screws,
then slide the dies out of the tool jaws.
