GENERAL INFORMATION
The Hand crimp tools Z80-292 & Z80-293 consist of a basic hand tool, which should be used with a
positioner or die set.
The contact is correctly crimped when the tool is free to open at the fully closed position, i.e.,
when the ratchet releases. The tool cannot be opened without completing the cycle.

TOOL PREPARATION
Z80-292
1. Check that the tool is in the open position. Remove the safety clip from the positioner
guide (do not discard)
2. Insert the positioner (Z80-291) into the positioner guide and turn it 90° in the direction
shown on the tool, until the bayonet pins lock.
3. Install the safety clip back into the positioner guide (optional).
4. Check Table 2 for the correct crimp tool setting of the wire size you wish to crimp.
5. Remove the safety clip from the selector knob (do not discard).
6. Lift and turn the selector knob until the correct crimp tool setting is lined up with the “Sel.
No.” arrow. Lower the selector knob, ensuring the locating peg lines up with a notch.
7. Install the safety clip back into the selector knob.
Z80-293
1. Align die rail slots in die halves with the rail in the crimp tool and push shank of dies into
holes, dies will snap into place.
2. Close handle to make sure dies are properly seated.
3. The tool is now ready to use.

CRIMPING PROCEDURE Z80-292
1. Ensure that the wire to be crimped is within the specified range of sizes for the contact
and the crimp tool. Failure to use the specified wire size will result in poor quality crimps
and possible tool damage.
2. See Figs. A & B for correct wire stripping dimensions for the appropriate contact. See also
drawings M80-305 to 307 & M80-315 to 317 for cable diameter and type.
3. Place the prepared wire and contact into the positioner and squeeze the handles of the
crimp tool fully together, until the ratchet releases. The handle will return to the open
position. Remove the crimped contact and wire. Using the sight hole (Fig A) on the side
wall of the contact, ensure that adequate insertion of strands into the crimp contact has
been achieved.
4. For pull off forces for individual contacts see table 2.
5. Refer to component specification C005XX for details of coax assembly methods.

CRIMPING PROCEDURE Z80-293
1. Ensure that the wire to be crimped is within the specified range of sizes for the contact
and the crimp tool (see table 1). Failure to use the specified wire size will result in poor
quality crimps and possible tool damage.
2. See Figs. A & B for correct wire stripping dimensions for the appropriate contact. The
straight coax contact (Fig A) will need to be crimped to the wire before insertion into outer
contact. For the 90° coax contact (Fig B) the wire is inserted into the coax body and
soldered before assembly, see component specification C005XX for further details of coax
assembly methods.
3. Check below table 3 to select which of the two hexagon sizes is correct to crimp contact
with. Place contact with crimp sleeve in position into the above selected hexagon with the
flat against the surface (the side with the manufacturers ID plate on), gently squeeze the
handle until it will go no further the crimp is now complete, squeeze handle again to
release completed crimp.
4. A correctly crimped contact & sleeve will achieve a pull off force of 30N minimum.

CARE OF TOOL
There is virtually no maintenance required for the Z80-292 & Z80-293. 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.
