use and low-volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment is available for extended-use production operations.
The SDE-SA hand tool is a commercial-grade tool. Product crimped with this tool meets the wire barrel crimp height requirement for hand
tools in the appropriate 114 application specification, but might not comply with other feature parameters of the specification.

- Page 2 408-35051 1. INTRODUCTION MATE-AX Hand Tool Assemblies are the tools shown in Figure 1. Each tool consists of the SDE-SA Frame Assembly 9-1478240-0 (instruction sheet 408-8851) and a die assembly. These tools are used to crimp the terminal part numbers listed in Table 1. NOTE Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in millimeters with [inches in brackets].
- Page 3 408-35051 3. INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE DIE SET AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY 1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die retaining screws from the tool jaws. 2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that their chamfered sides and the marked surfaces face outward when mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame.
- Page 4 408-35051 4. CRIMPING 4.1. Inner ferrule tools NOTE The tool is provided with a crimp adjustment feature. Initially, the crimp height should be verified as specified in Figure 9. Refer to Section 5, INSPECTING THE CRIMP HEIGHT, and Section 6, ADJUSTING THE RATCHET, to verify crimp height before using the tool to crimp contacts and wire sizes.
- Page 5 408-35051 6. Position the stripped cable (see TE Specification 114-94413 Section 5.1 Step 1 for cable preparation) in the floating shear and seat the face of the stripped jacket against the locating surface in the floating shear (Figure 4). Figure 4: Positioning the cable (upper tooling removed for clarity) Stripped portion of cable Floating shear locating surface 7.
- Page 6 408-35051 4.2. Center contact tools NOTE The tool is provided with a crimp adjustment feature. Initially, the crimp height should be verified as specified in Figure 9. Refer to Section 5, INSPECTING THE CRIMP HEIGHT, and Section 6, ADJUSTING THE RATCHET, to verify crimp height before using the tool to crimp contacts and wire sizes.
- Page 7 408-35051 4. While holding the cable in place, fully cycle the tool until the ratchet releases and allows the handles to fully open. CAUTION Make sure that both sides of the wire barrel are started evenly into the crimping section. Do not attempt to crimp an improperly positioned contact.
- Page 8 408-35051 4. Release the terminal lock (Figure 8) to fix the sub-assembly in place. Figure 8: Releasing the terminal lock 5. Fully cycle the tool until the ratchet releases and allows the handles to fully open. CAUTION Make sure that both sides of the wire barrel are started evenly into the crimping section. Do not attempt to crimp an improperly positioned contact.
- Page 9 Crimp height inspection is performed using a micrometer with a modified anvil, commonly referred to as a crimp-height comparator. TE Connectivity does not manufacture or market crimp height comparators. Detailed information on obtaining and using crimp-height comparators can be found in Instruction Sheet 408-7424.
