HX23 OPERATION/DIES®DANIELSMANUFACTURINGCORPORATIONThe HX23 crimp tool features a system of interchangeabledies which eliminates the need for separate fixed diecrimp tools for each and every different application. Dies invarious crimp patterns are available for MIL-C-39029shielded contacts, MIL-C-39012 coaxial connectors,MIL-T-7928 terminals and splices, and other commercialand military terminating components.2. The first pulse of the foot valve will close the HX23under light spring pressure. This grips the crimp terminationdevice in the proper location for crimping. The secondpulse completes the crimp, and returns the tool to the fullyopen position.ADJUSTABLE DIES FOR TERMINALS & SPLICES1. The die sets snap in and out of the crimp tool forinterchangeability. A die removal tool is included with theHX23 for operator convenience.CAUTION: Always disconnect the air supply whenchanging the die sets.COMMON HEX DIES ARELISTED ON PAGE 29.For Other Applications Consult Factory.Adjustable Crimping Dies accept terminationswhich conform to MIL-T-7928, MS25036(class 1 and 2) and other military orcommercial specifications.COLOR SIZE P/NYELLOW 12-10 Y670BLUE 16-14 Y671RED 22-18 Y672YELLOW 26-24 Y678ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COAXIAL CONNECTORSStrip cable jacket, braid, anddielectric to “a” “b” “c” dimensionsspecified by connectormanufacturer, FIG. 1. Avoid nickson braid, dielectric, and centerconductor.Slide outer ferrule over cableas shown in FIG. 2.Place inner contact on cablecenter conductor so it buttsagainst cable dielectric. FIG. 2.Center conductor should bevisible through inspection hole incontact. Crimp or solder contactin place according to specificationsof connector manufacturer.Avoid excessive heat if soldermethod is used.Flare slightly end of cablebraid as shown. Install cableassembly into body assembly soinner ferrule portion slides underbraid. Push cable assemblyforward until contact snaps intoplace in insulator. FIG. 3.Slide outer ferrule over braidand up against connector body.Crimp outer ferrule with specifiedhex size die.NOTE: Instructions given above areintended to be only general guidelinesfor the assembly of coaxial connectors.Specific directives of connectormanufacturer should take precedence.© COPYRIGHT 2003 DANIELS MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONPAGE 50
