Anderson™ Tooling Why Use of Anderson™ Recommended Tooling is so Important Our connectors are designed to achieve the highest levels of durability, reliability, and performance as shown on the connector data sheets. Crimp tooling is a critical link between the designed performance of a connector and the realization of that performance by our customers. As part of the connector design and testing process, we recommend a number of crimp solutions that have proven to deliver the intended connector performance in a process that is repeatable. Only these solutions tested by us are listed in the...

1387G1 & G2 Pneumatic Bench Tools Versatile & heavy duty tools manufactured by Pico Tools, use fixed depth dies and spring bottom locators designed specifically to crimp our contacts. Dies and locators are not interchangeable between the 1387G1 and the 1387G2. These pneumatic full cycle tools operate on clean and dry shop air pressures of 80 - 125 psi (5 - 8.6 BAR). See connector family tooling charts at the end of each section for the specific dies and locators recommended for crimping each contact. Dies and locators are available from Pico Tools for a variety of other terminal types...

1309 Series Hand Tools High quality hand tools are designed for crimping 6 to 20 AWG (13.3 to 0.52 mm2) wires for Powerpole®, SB®, SBS®, and SBE® / SBO® connectors. The extra long bright yellow handles provide significant crimping force while minimizing operator fatigue. Full cycle ratchet mechanism makes sure every crimp is fully completed. All tools except 1309G4 include a plastic locator piece that ensures proper positioning of the contacts for crimping. 1309G2: For crimping PP15/45 loose piece strip contacts and individual contacts. 16 to 20 AWG (1.3 to 0.5 mm2) 12 to 20 AWG (3.3 to 1.3...

MIL-SPEC Hand & Bench Tools Manual hand tools and pneumatic bench tools are available in this tool series. The hand and pneumatic tools both use the same turret locators designed specifically for APP® contacts. The interchangeable nature of the turret locators allow easy upgrades from prototyping to production volumes. All tools feature adjustable indenter depths to cover 12 to 26 AWG (3.3 to 0.25 mm2) capability. Full cycle mechanism makes sure every crimp is fully completed. See tooling charts at the end of each connector section for the appropriate turret locator part numbers. TM0001:...

Crimping Technical Reference Crimping, Soldering, and Assembly Best Practices. Instructions for proper assembly are available for each connector and should be followed. These best practices are for reference only. Stripping Wire Insulation Problems with cable harness and connector systems often begin with improper or accidental cutting of wire strands when stripping wire insulation. Each strand is important, and all of them must be included in the contact barrel to avoid unnecessary hot spots during later operation. When removing insulation, position a sharp blade at a right angle and apply...

Soldering The alternative to crimping is to solder all cable strands within the contact barrel. When using an open flame, make sure that you are not in an area where explosive gasses are present. The right proportion of solder is essential if this procedure is employed. Use a quality 60/40 solder (60 percent tin, 40 percent lead) in wire form with a rosin flux core. Cable strands should be separately fluxed with rosin paste, and the contact should be held in a vise with the barrel end facing up. Apply heat to the outside of the barrel while the solder flows in beside the wire strands. Here...

Why Crimp Dimensions are not Suitable as Primary Inspection Criteria Crimp dimensions are not an adequate or reliable means to evaluate if a good crimp has been made. For this reason they should not be relied upon as a primary inspection method. When you crimp a contact, the material is forced down to the size of the fully closed die. This die closure on most tools is a fixed dimension. When the die is released, the material (contact and wire) will expand back out when they are no longer restrained by the die. The amount that it expands outwards or “bounces back” is dependant on the...
