Circular Indent Crimp Tools

When special conditions call for a new tool design, we make every effort to utilize the components of existing tools which have been proved reliable both in field use and controlled test programs.  Such is the case with this tool series.

The design of certain shielded contacts require two additional crimping operations.  One for the shield crimp sleeve, the other for the outer body. (Note: On the MH802, MH803, and MH804 tools, in additional to the four opposing indenters these tools also have four retainers which encompass the contact prior to the initiation of the crimping operation this assuring concentricity.) All of the tools give a concentric circular crimp configuration required by certain shielded contacts to insure compatibility with connector inserts and installing or removal tools in rear release applications, and/or maintain a consistent electric impedance. Thus an indenter pattern which conforms to the appropriate military drawing (see chart for specific part numbers) was adapted to our familiar standard and miniature tool frames.  A full complement of positioners, inspection gages, and other accessories are available for these tool frames.
