The series M22520/5-01 (HX4) and M22520/10-01 (HX3) open frame crimp tools from Daniels Tools feature a system of interchangeable dies that eliminate the need of separate fixed die crimp tools for each and every different application.
Tremendous flexibility and cost advantages exist with this crimping system due to the wide variety of interchangeable dies that are available for these tool frames.
Crimping dies are snapped into the tool frame and retained in place by internal spring clips. By driving a roll pin into the holes provided, they may be permanently secured. The tool frames are equipped with a positive ratchet assembly which controls compete 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 tri-axial connectors and contacts conforming to MIL-C-39012, MIL-C-39029, 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 un-insulated terminal lugs, wire splices and end caps relating to M7928, MS17143, MS25036, MS25181, MS27429, MS25274, MS20659, M81824, MS21003 through MS21015, and commercial part numbers.
