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
contact crimping. The tool frame holds a die assembly
with four crimping chambers. The die assembly
features an indenter die and an anvil die.
Attached to the outside of the frame is a locator and
straightener assembly, which properly positions and
holds the connector center contact during crimping.
Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used
to position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A
nut is used on the upper die retaining screw to hold
the locator and straightener assembly in place.
