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

Modular Plug Hand Tool (Premium Grade) 231652–[ ]
(shown in Figure 1) is designed to terminate modular
plug connectors onto stranded or solid, shielded or
unshielded flat oval cable or round cable. The tool
also cuts and strips unshielded flat oval cable; other
cable must be prepared by separate tools.
Each tool includes Die Set 853400–[ ] (see Figure 2),
except Tool 2–231652–0 which is available without a
die set. The die sets are also available separately.

2. DESCRIPTION

The die set consists of a nest and an indenter, each
marked with a color code dot. The die set is held in
the tool by a single die holding screw. Each die set
is unique to its purpose, but die sets can be
interchanged to accommodate any modular plug.
Refer to Figure 2.
The tool features a wire cutter and flat oval cable
stripper to prepare unshielded flat oval cable. The tool
handle ensures full crimping. Once engaged, the
ratchet will not release until the handles have been
FULLY closed, unless the ratchet release (pawl) is
depressed to manually release the ratchet. When
depressed, the pawl prevents crimping of an
improperly positioned modular plug.
