4. Load the terminated end of the cable into the crimp barrel of the contact. Ensure the wire is fully
inserted, with all strands in place (see Figure C).

5. Squeeze the handles of the crimp tool fully together, until ratchet releases. The handle will return to
the open position. Remove the crimped contact and wire. Check that there is no exposed or stray
wire, and that the insulation is fully within the end of the crimp barrel.
Note: The cross hole on the crimp barrel, although not an inspection hole (it is designed to assist
with plating processes) may give approximate guidance to the location of the conductor. After
crimping the contact, the indent may overlap this hole.
6. Crimp joints should be checked for:
a) Correct combination of cable, tool setting and crimp termination.
b) Correctness of form and location of crimp.
c) Freedom of fracture, rough edges and flash.
d) Adequate insertion of all conductor strands in the crimp barrel.
e) Absence of damage to the conductor or the insulation.
CONTACT ASSEMBLY TO HOUSING PROCEDURE
M80-05500XX contacts are assembled using Assembly Tool Z300-902 and Instruction Sheet IS-40.
Other M80 Series parts are assembled using Assembly Tool Z80-280 and Instruction Sheet IS-25.
M300 Series parts are assembled using Assembly Tool Z300-902 and Instruction Sheet IS-40.
CARE OF TOOL
There is virtually no maintenance required for the M22520/2-01 tool. However, it is good practice to keep
the indenter tips free of residual colour band deposits and other debris. A small wire brush may be used
for this purpose.
We strongly recommend that you:
1. DO NOT immerse tools in any cleaning solution.
2. DO NOT spray oil into tool to lubricate.
3. DO NOT attempt to disassemble tool or make repairs.
This is a precision crimp tool and should be handled as such.
