TNC COAXICON* Connector
Crimping Tools and Dies 28 SEP 12 Rev C
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.
‡For use in Hand Tool 69710 or Pneumatic Tool 69365. †Engineering controlled. Figure 1
1. INTRODUCTION
The Series TNC Connectors listed in Figure 1 are
used with Hand Tool 69811, with Dies 220006-1 in
Hand Tool 69710, or Pneumatic Tool 69365.
2. CRIMP END ASSEMBLY
1. Slip the ferrule on the cable, then strip the cable
and flair braid as shown in Figure 2.
2. Insert stripped conductor into the wire barrel on
the crimp end. Twist crimp end slightly to ease entry
of wire.
Figure 2
3. Push crimp end back under braid so that the
braid passes over and around the support sleeve.
Apply sufficient pressure to cause the cable
dielectric to bottom against the dielectric of the
crimp end. See Figure 2. Twist the crimp end
slightly to ensure bottoming.
4. Slide the ferrule forward and over the braid on the
crimp end as far as it will go. Crimp end is now
ready to be crimped. See Figure 2.
3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
3.1. Hand Tool 69811
1. Open crimping dies by closing the tool handles
until the CERTI-CRIMP* hand crimping tool ratchet
control releases. Note that once the ratchet is
engaged, the handles cannot be opened until they
are fully closed.
2. The crimping tools have double sets of dies, see
Figure 3, to crimp the braid ferrule and wire barrel of
the jack or plug crimp end. Ferrule and wire barrel
are crimped at the same time.
3. Place the crimp end in the crimping dies as
shown in Figure 3.

4. Make certain that the wire barrel and braid ferrule
of the crimp end are resting firmly on the crimping
dies. See Figure 3.
5. Hold the assembly in place and close the handles
until the CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet
control releases to complete the crimp.
3.2. Interchangeable Dies
Series TNC COAXICON crimping dies are used in
tools 69710 and 69365. Read the instructions shipped
with the tools for information concerning die insertion
and general tool performance, then proceed as
follows:
1. Place the crimping dies in tool.
2. The die assemblies have double sets of crimping
dies similar to those in hand tools. See Figure 4.
Figure 4
3. Place the jack or plug crimp end in the crimping
dies as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5
4. Make certain the wire barrel and braid ferrule of
the crimp end are resting firmly on the crimping
dies. See Figure 5. Hold the assembly in place and
complete the crimp.
4. JACK AND PLUG ASSEMBLY
1. Assemble the jack crimp end and jack body as
shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6
2. Assemble the plug crimp end and plug body in
the same manner as shown for the jack assembly.
See Figure 7.
Figure 7
3. Use a wrench on flats to tighten. A torque of 1.70
to 2.26 N•m [15 to 20 in.-lbs] is suggested.
