Technical Assistance Center at 1–800–722–1111.
1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet provides application and
maintenance procedures for SDE PEW 12 Hand
Crimping Tool Frame Assembly 9–1478240–0. The
tool is designed to accept interchangeable crimping
die assemblies for crimping various types of
connectors.
In most cases, the SDE PEW 12 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 SDE PEW 12 Frame Assembly is designed
to accept dies to crimp a variety of products.
Contact your local Tyco Electronics
Representative or the Technical Assistance
Center for information regarding the availability of
diesforspecificapplications.
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The SDE PEW 12 Hand Crimping Tool Frame
Assembly 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. Installation of Shouldered Dies (Figure 2)
1. Place the upper die in the stationary jaw of the
tool frame.

Die
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 with center contact crimp
sections should be installed with the center
contact crimp section toward the front of the tool
jaws as shown in Figure 2. If indicated otherwise
in other instructions, follow the specific die
requirementsdemonstrated inthat 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 SDE PEW 12 tool ratchet has detents that
are audible as six “clicks” as the handles are
closed. The ratchet releases on the sixth“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 fifth “click,”
then tighten both die retention screws until snug.
3.2. Installation of Pinned Dies (Figure 3)
1. Install the wire and insulation anvil dies with the
chamfers facing the front of the tool and 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.
5. Slowly close the tool handles allowing the dies
to mate and/or align. Continue closing the tool
handles until the ratchet makes the fifth “click,”
then tighten both die retention screws until snug.
3.3. Removal
To remove the die assemblies, close the tool handles
until the tool ratchet releases, and allow the handles
to open fully. Reverse the installation procedure(s).

4. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
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.
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, TOOL REPLACEMENT. If tool is acceptable,
lubricate and return to service.
This tool is recommended for R&D prototyping,
networkingapplications,commercial/industrial
maintenance, and field service repair. For other
applications, please contact your Tyco Electronics
Sales Representative or the Tyco Electronics
ToolingAssistance Centerat 1–800–722–1111.
5. CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (Figure 4)
The tool frame assembly features a ratchet
mechanism and adjustment wheel with a range of
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 procedure.
For specific information, refer to the instruction
sheet packaged with the die assembly.
1. Crimp a contact onto a properly–prepared wire
of the correct size.
Never reuse or re–terminate a terminal.
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.
