Identify the contact before selecting a tool. Connector family names alone do not establish tool compatibility.
-
Identify the contact
Record the connector family, exact contact part number, contact size, solid or stamped construction and wire range.
-
Match the tooling
Solid contacts need the specified indent tooling. Stamped contacts need matched open-barrel tooling. Check the individual tools included in KIT-DC01 or KIT-DC02.
-
Plan the repair
Include any required extraction tool, replacement contacts, seals and wire preparation tools. Keep reusable and replacement components separate.
-
Check the finished connection
Follow the manufacturer’s crimp, retention, seal and housing-assembly instructions. A tool does not by itself establish the finished assembly’s sealing rating.
