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. Figure 1 The SDE PEW 12 Hand Tool is a “Commercial” grade tool and is designed primarily for field installation, repair, maintenance work, or prototyping in industrial, commercial, or institutional applications. Product 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 Electronics offers a variety of tools to satisfy your performance requirements. For additional information, contact the 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 dies for specific applications. 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: NOTE

Rev O 2 of 3 3.1. Installation of Shouldered Dies (Figure 2) 1. Place the upper die in the stationary jaw of the tool frame. Figure 2 Insert Upper Die Die Retention Screws Insert Lower 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 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 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).

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. NOTE NOTE

3 of 3 Rev O 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, networking applications, commercial/industrial maintenance, and field service repair. For other applications, please contact your Tyco Electronics Sales Representative or the Tyco Electronics Tooling Assistance Center at 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.
