The insulation crimp adjustment lever is used to
regulate the crimp height of the contact insulation
barrel. For detailed information on using the
adjustment lever, refer to Section 4, INSULATION
CRIMP ADJUSTMENT.
The contact locator/insulation stop positions the
contact between the crimping dies. In addition, the
locator/insulation stop aids in locating the wire in the
contact. In use, it rests in the contact locator slot. See
Figures 2 and 3.
The inner and outer contact supports prevent the
contact from bending during the crimping operation.
The CERTI–CRIMP ratchet ensures full crimping of
the contact. Once engaged, the ratchet will not
release until the tool handles have been fully closed.
