designed primarily for field installation, repair, maintenance work, or
prototyping in industrial, commercial, or institutional applications. roduct
crimped with this tool will meet the crimp height requirement for hand tools in
the appropriate 114 application specification, but may not comply with other
feature parameters of the specification. Tyco Electtronics offers a variety of
tools to satisfy your performance requirements. For additional information,
contact the Tooling Assistance Center at 1-800-722-1111.
1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet provides application and
maintenance procedures for Hand Tool Frame
Assembly 58532–[ ], 58555–[ ], and 58588–[ ]. The
tool is designed to accept interchangeable crimping
die assemblies for crimping various types of
connectors.
In most cases, the hand tool frame assembly is
provided with a specific set of dies and is considered
a component part of a crimping assembly. Refer to
the appropriate instruction sheet packaged with the
hand tool/crimping die assembly, or with the separate
die assembly, for information regarding crimping
procedures, crimp height inspection, and crimping die
gaging.
Read these instructions thoroughly before installing
dies and using the tool.
The hand tool frame assembly is designed to
accept dies to crimp a variety of products.
Contact your local Tyco Electronics
Representative or the Tooling Assistance Center
for information regarding the availability of dies
for specific applications.
Reasons for reissue are provided in Section 7,
REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The hand tool consists of two crimping jaws, an
adjustable ratchet, spring–actuated handles, two die
retaining screws, and an emergency ratchet release.
The slotted design of the crimping jaws permits easy
installation and removal of crimping dies. The
adjustable ratchet allows handle pressure to be set
for optimum crimping die performance.

3. DIE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
Select the desired die assembly, remove the die
retention screws from the tool jaws, and proceed as
follows:
3.1. Shouldered Dies (Figure 2)
1. Place the upper die in the stationary jaw of the
tool frame.

2. Insert a die retention screw through the jaw and
die and tighten the screw so that the die is held in
place, but do not tighten the screw completely at
this point.
Die assemblies ith center contact crimp
sections should be installed ith the center
contact crimp section to ard the front of the tool
ja s as sho n in Figure 2. If indicated other ise
in other instructions, follo the specific die
requirements demonstrated in that document.
3. Place the lower die in the moving jaw of the tool
frame. Install a die retention screw through the jaw
and die and tighten the screw so that the die is
held in place, but do not tighten the screw
completely at this point.
The hand tool ratchet has detents that are
audible as five clicks" as the handles are closed.
The ratchet releases on the fifth click."
4. Slowly close the tool handles, allowing the dies
to mate and/or align. Continue closing the tool
handles until the ratchet makes the fourth “click,”
then tighten both die retention screws until snug.
5. To remove the die assembly, close the tool
handles until the ratchet releases, and allow the
handles to open fully. Loosen and remove the die
retention screws and slide the dies out of the tool
jaws.
3.2. Pinned Dies (Figure 3)
1. Install the wire and insulation anvil dies, with the
chamfers facing the front of the tool, and with the
die markings facing outward, into the movable jaw
of the frame assembly.
2. Insert the die retaining pins and the short die
retention screw. Do
not tighten the screw
completely.
3. Install the wire and insulation crimper dies, with
the chamfers facing the front of the tool, and with
the die markings facing outward, into the stationary
jaw of the frame assembly.
4. Insert the die retaining pins and the long die
retention screw. Do not tighten the screw
completely.

6. Install the locator assembly and tighten the hex
nut.
7. Reverse the procedure to remove the die
assembly.

4. MAIN ENANCE/INSPEC ION
4.1. Daily Maintenance
Tyco Electronics recommends that operators of the
tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the
following steps of daily maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and any other
contaminants from the tool with a clean, soft brush,
or a clean, soft, lint–free cloth. Do NOT use hard or
abrasive objects that could damage the tool.
2. Make certain that the pivot pins are in place and
that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a thin coat of any good
SAE 20 motor oil. Do not oil excessively.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep handles closed
to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the
crimping jaws. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.
4.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections of the tool should be performed
by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled
inspections should remain with the tool or be supplied
to supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
Inspection frequency should be based upon amount
of use, working conditions, operator training and skill,
and established company standards.
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect
paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that all pivot pins are in place and
secured with retaining rings.
3. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and
then allow them to open freely. If they do not open
quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must
be replaced. See Section 6, PARTS
REPLACEMENT.
4. Inspect the tool frame for wear or damage,
paying particular attention to the tool jaws and
pivot points. If damage is evident, refer to Section
6, PARTS REPLACEMENT. If tool is acceptable,
lubricate and return to service.
This tool is recommended for R&D prototyping,
networking applications, commercial/ind strial
maintenance, and field service repair. For other
applications, please contact yo r Tyco Electronics
Representative or the Tooling Assistance Center
at the n mber at the bottom of page 1.
5. CRIMP HEIGH ADJUS MEN
The tool frame assembly features a ratchet
mechanism and adjustment wheel with eight settings.
The ratchet mechanism ensures that the tool has
completed the cycle. The adjustment wheel controls
the amount of handle pressure exerted on the tool
jaws and crimping dies during the crimping procedure.
Although the ratchet is preset prior to shipment, it is
important that you verify the crimp height. Also,
general use and subsequent wear may cause the tool
to go out of adjustment. It is recommended that the
crimp height be inspected — and adjusted, if
necessary — on a regular basis by quality control
personnel.
This is a general explanation of the proced re.
For specific information, refer to the instr ction
sheet packaged with the die assembly.
1. Crimp a contact onto a properly–prepared wire
of the correct size.
2. If the crimp height is greater than
recommended, remove the ratchet wheel
adjustment screw and rotate the adjustment wheel
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a higher setting.
Repeat as required.
3. If the crimp height is less than recommended,
remove the ratchet wheel adjustment screw and
rotate the adjustment wheel CLOCKWISE to a
lower setting. Repeat as required.
4. If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the
dimensions provided in the appropriate product
application specification, the tool and/or dies are
defective and must be replaced.
6. PAR S REPLACEMEN
Hand Tool Frame Assemblies 58532–[ ], 58555–[ ],
and 58588–[ ] are inspected prior to shipment. It is
recommended that they be inspected upon arrival to
ensure that they have not become damaged during
shipping.
Refer to the parts list in Figure 4 to determine the
proper location and orientation of the part in the tool
frame.
