HX23 Operation/ Dies
The HX23 crimp tool features a system of interchangeable dies which eliminates the need for separate fixed die crimp tools for each and every different application. Dies in various crimp patterns are available for MIL-C-39029 shielded contacts, MIL-C-39012 coaxial connectors, MIL-T-7928 terminals and splices, and other commercial and military components.

1. The die sets snap in and out of the crimp tool for interchangeability. A die removal tool is included with the HX23 for operator convenience. CAUTION: Always disconnect the air supply when changing the die sets.

2. The first pulse of the foot valve will close the HX23 under light spring pressure. This grips the crimp termination device in the proper location for crimping. The second pulse completes the crimp, and returns the tool to the fully open position. |
Adjustable Dies For Terminals & Splices |
Adjustable Crimping Dies accept terminations which conform to MIL-T-7928,
MS25036 (class 1 and 2) and other military or commercial applications. |

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COAXIAL CONNECTORS

Click on Image for Larger View
|
Strip cable jacket, braid, and dielectric to “a”, “b” and “c” dimensions specified by connector manufacturer, FIG. 1. Avoid nicks on braid, dielectric, and center conductor. Slide outer ferrule over cable as shown in FIG. 2. Place inner contact on cable center conductor so it butts against cable dielectric. FIG. 2. Center conductor should be visible through inspection hole in contact. Crimp or solder contact in place according to specifications of connector manufacturer. Avoid excessive heat if solder method is used. Flare slightly end of cable braid as shown. Install cable assembly into body assembly so inner ferrule portion slides under braid. Push cable assembly forward until contact snaps into place in insulator. FIG. 3. Slide other ferrule over braid and up against connector body. Crimp outer ferrule with specified hex size die. |
| NOTE: Instructions given above are intended to be only general guidelines for the assembly of coaxial connectors. Specific directives of connector manufacturer should take precedence. |
