Description

M22520/5-01 (HX4) M22520/10-01 (HX3)
The DMC HX4 and HX3 series crimp tools feature a system of interchange- able dies which eliminate the need for separate fixed die crimp tools for each and every different application. Many maintenance and production organi- zations have standardized on one of these models, thus eliminating the cost associated with maintaining and calibrat- ing bulky inventories of single purpose, dedicated tools.
Tremendous flexibility and cost advan- tages exist with this crimping system due to the wide variety of military and proprietary interchangeable dies available for these tool frames. As new requirements evolve, a new set of dies is all that’s required to meet the demand.
Crimping dies are snapped into the tool frame and retained in place
by internal spring clips. They may be permanently secured, if desired, by pressing a roll pin into the holes provided.
The tool frames are equipped
with a positive ratchet assembly which controls complete handle movement in both directions.
Hexagonal crimp dies are available
in a variety of combinations having single, double, and even triple cavity design. These dies accommodate most coaxial and triaxial connectors and contacts conforming to MIL-DTL-39012, AS39029, and numerous proprietary configurations. Other designs are available for coaxial connections requiring different termination techniques.
Dies in various crimp patterns
are also available for insulated and uninsulated terminal lugs, wire splices and end caps relating to M7928, MS17143, MS25036, MS25181, MS27429, MS25274, MS20659, M81824, MS21003 through MS21015, and commercial part numbers. Several power contacts too large for conven- tional hand tools are also covered by interchangeable dies for the standard tool frame (HX4).
If your application requirement
is not already covered by one of our standard dies our engineering depart- ment will be pleased to discuss a design to suit your needs.
