Open Frame Crimp Tools
M22520/5-01 (HX4)
M22520/10-01 (HX3)
The DMC HX4 and HX3 series crimp
tools feature a system of interchangeable
dies which eliminate the need for
separate fixed die crimp tools for each
and every different appli cation. Many
maintenance and production organizations
have standardized on one of
these models, thus elimi nating the cost
associated with maintaining and calibrating
bulky inventories of single purpose,
dedicated tools.
Typical Die Set
Tremendous flexibility and cost advantages
exist with this crimping system
due to the wide variety of military and
proprietary interchangeable dies
available for these tool frames. As new
requirements evolve, a new set of dies is
all that’s required to meet the demand.
Crimping dies are snapped into the
tool frame and retained in place
by internal spring clips. They may be
permanently secured, if desired, by
pressing a roll pin into the holes provided.
The tool frames are equipped
with a positive ratchet assembly which
controls complete 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 triaxial connectors and
contacts conforming to MIL-DTL-39012,
AS39029, and numerous pro pri etary
configurations. Other designs are
available for coaxial connections
requiring different termination techniques.
Dies in various crimp patterns
are also available for insulated and
uninsulated terminal lugs, wire splices
and end caps relating to M7928,
MS17143, MS25036, MS25181,
MS27429, MS25274, MS20659,
M81824, MS21003 through MS21015,
and commercial part numbers. Several
power contacts too large for conventional
hand tools are also covered by
interchangeable dies for the standard
tool frame (HX4).
If your application requirement
is not already covered by one of our
standard dies our engineering department
will be pleased to discuss a design
to suit your needs.
The HX4 is 11″ in length and weighs
approximately 21 oz. The HX3 is 9″ in
length and weighs 11 oz.
