1. INTRODUCTION
These instructions cover installation, setup, and
termination procedures for Base Assembly Universal
Arbor Tool 768338--2. The universal arbor tool is used
with connector--specific kits (listed in Figure 1) to
terminate connectors onto .64 mm [.025 in.]
centerline ribbon cable. The tooling assemblies are
used in conjunction with Manual Arbor Frame
Assembly 91085--2 (see Figure 1) or Pneumatic
Auto--Cycle Unit 91112--3.
For information regarding the setup and operation of
the arbor frame assembly, refer to instruction sheet
408--7777 and 408--6732 for the auto--cycle unit.
Installation and setup procedures for the
connector--specific kits are available in 408--9928 (for
679176--1) and 408--9892 (for 679235--1).
Read these instructions (and other referenced
documents) thoroughly before terminating any
connectors.
Dimensions are in millimeters [followed by
inches in brackets].
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The universal arbor tool consists of an upper tool
mount and a lower tooling assembly. The lower
tooling consists of a machined base, a fluted plate,
two cable guides, a cable clamp, a cable stop, and a
front guard. The machined base allows the tooling to
be moved into and out of the crimping area of the
arbor frame assembly. The fluted plate is designed to
provide proper seating of the ribbon cable. The cable
guides aid in positioning the ribbon cable with the
connector assembly, and the cable clamp holds the

ribbon cable in position. The cable stop provides
proper positioning of the ribbon cable for flush
terminations.
3. INSTALLATION OF BASE ASSEMBLY UNIVERSAL
ARBOR TOOL (Figure 1)
The procedures in this section are typical for both
the Manual Arbor Frame Assembly and the
Pneumatic Auto--Cycle Unit.
Before installing the universal arbor tool in the
Pneumatic Auto--Cycle Unit, DISCONNECT air
from main air valve.
1. Secure upper tool mount to ram with the two
socket head cap screws.
The slot on the upper tool mount must face
toward the FRONT of the frame assembly, as
shown in Figure 1.
2. Remove tool stop from the front of the slide
base.
3. Position lower tooling assembly onto slide base
of frame assembly and slide into position.
4. Replace tool stop and tighten it to secure the
lower tooling assembly onto the slide base.
4. TERMINATION PROCEDURE
1. Install the connector--specific kit onto the
universal arbor tool; then set up the tooling
components for termination. Refer to the
instruction sheet supplied with the
connector--specific kit. See Figure 2.

To avoid personal injury, make sure all guards are
installed on the arbor frame assembly or
the auto--cycle unit before terminating the
connector.
2. Place cable into the flutes of the fluted plate, as
shown in Figure 2.
Cable conductors must stay in the same flutes for
the entire length of the fluted plate.
3. Insert connector into the lower insert using the
instructions supplied with the connector--specific
kit.
4. Slide cable through the connector so that the
end of the cable is against the cable stop. The
cable must be positioned between the cable
guides. When cable is properly positioned, close
the cable clamp. See Figure 2.
5. To actuate the ram for the arbor frame
assembly, slide lower tooling assembly toward rear
of base plate until it is positioned against the rear
tool stop. Pull down on the frame assembly handle
to terminate the cable to the connector.
To actuate the ram for the auto--cycle unit, slide
lower tooling assembly toward the rear of the
base plate until the sensing port closes. The
frame assembly will automatically cycle and
terminate the cable to the connector.
6. To retract the ram for the arbor frame assembly,
raise the tool handle. Slide tooling assembly out
from under the ram and remove the terminated
connector.
The ram will automatically retract when the
auto--cycle unit has completed the crimp cycle.
Slide the lower tooling out from under the ram to
remove the terminated connector.
7. Measure the termination height of the connector.
The dimension should conform to the termination
height dimensions provided in Application
Specification 114--40049. If the termination height
is incorrect, an adjustment to the ram height is
required. Refer to the instruction sheet supplied
with the appropriate frame assembly for ram height
adjustment procedures.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
5.1. Maintenance
Base Assembly Universal Arbor Tool 768338--2
requires little maintenance other than to keep it clean.
Remove debris and contaminants from the tooling
with a clean, soft, lint--free cloth or a clean, soft brush.
Do not use objects that could damage the tooling and
do not use any solvents that could harm paint or
plastic material. When not in use, store the tooling in
a clean, dry area.
5.2. Inspection
The tooling should be inspected immediately upon
arrival at your facility and at regularly--scheduled
intervals thereafter to ensure that it has not been
damaged. Examine the tooling for any signs of
damage or excessive wear during inspections. If
replacement of parts is necessary, refer to Figure 3
for the list of customer--replaceable parts.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Figure 3 provides a list of customer--replaceable parts
for the Base Assembly Universal Arbor Tool
768338--2. Replacement parts can be ordered
through your local TE Connectivity representative.
Parts replacement and tooling repair may also be
secured by calling the Product Information or the
Tooling Assistance Center at the numbers shown on
