Crimping tool cautions
• Choose an appropriate cable.
• Cut the cable tip sharply so that no burrs remain. It is not necessary to peel back
the sheath.
• After crimping, check the following:
• The crimping tool is plastic and is designed to be lightweight. It may break if
excessive force is applied to the handle after crimping.
• The precision mechanism of the crimping tool may malfunction if it is dropped or
jarred. Do not disassemble the tool.
• The plastic material will melt upon contact with strong solvents such as acetone,
trichlene, or benzine. Do not allow solvents to contact the tool.
• Even if no crimping tool is available, you may be able to solder the contact and
cable.
• A flat cable can be used, as the connector conforms to the MIL Standard.
