TE Connectivity 46447 Instruction Sheet

PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low
volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.
1. INTRODUCTION
Hand Crimping Tools 46447, 2326374-1, 47410 (crimps 12-10 AWG terminals on a 45° angle), 49592, 49935,
69363, 525693, 574573, 1490046-1, and 1490047-1 (shown in Figure 1) are used to crimp SOLISTRAND* and
STRATO-THERM* terminals and splices (listed in Figure 2) onto stranded wire sizes 26 through 10 AWG.
Read these instructions thoroughly before using the tool.
NOTE
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in millimeters [with inch equivalents in brackets]. Figures and illustrations are for

2. DESCRIPTION
Each tool consists of a CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet and two crimping jaws (indenter and anvil) containing one,
two, or three crimping chambers. Each tool is marked with the wire size range for each crimping chamber. See
Figure 1. Full crimping of the terminal or splice is assured by the CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet. Once engaged,
the ratchet does not release until the tool handles have been FULLY closed.
CAUTION
The crimping jaws bottom before the ratchet releases. This feature ensures maximum electrical and tensile performance of the
crimp. Do NOT re-adjust the ratchet.
3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Strip the wire according to the dimensions listed in Figure 2. The strip length is determined by the type of
terminal or splice and by the wire size. Do not nick or cut the wire strands. Proceed as follows:
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases. Allow the tool handles to open fully.
2. Center the terminal or splice wire barrel in the appropriate crimping chamber. For terminals, make
sure that the flat side of the tongue faces the anvil or the nest; for splices, make sure that the brazed
seam (when visible) is toward the indenter or, the nest. See Figure 3.
3. While holding the terminal or splice in place, squeeze the tool handles together just until the jaws
begin to close on the wire barrel. Do NOT deform the wire barrel.
4. Insert the stripped wire into the wire barrel, making sure that the wire insulation does not enter the
wire barrel.
