The Daniels Manufacturing Corporation (DMC) AF8 (M22520/1-01) is an adjustable hand crimp tool designed for precision crimping of electrical contacts. This datasheet provides comprehensive information regarding its function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
The AF8 tool is a basic hand crimp tool without a positioner, meaning a separate positioner attachment is required for specific crimping applications. Its primary function is to securely crimp electrical contacts onto wires within a specified gauge range. The tool features a double-action ratchet mechanism, which ensures that the crimping cycle is completed once initiated, preventing partial crimps and enhancing reliability. This design means the tool cannot be opened until the full cycle is finished.
When a positioner is installed, the tool facilitates precise crimping by allowing the user to select the appropriate setting based on the contact's part number and wire size. The positioner guides the contact and wire into the indenter opening, ensuring consistent and accurate crimps. The tool's operation involves inserting the contact and prepared wire, then squeezing the handles until the ratchet releases, at which point the handles will return to the open position.
The AF8 tool is designed for minimal maintenance. It is considered a precision hand crimp tool and should be handled with care.
DMC emphasizes that this tool is a precision instrument, and improper handling or unauthorized repairs can compromise its accuracy and longevity. DMC also engineers and manufactures complete tool kits for various customer requirements, including total aircraft support, general shop maintenance, production, and on-board ship and vehicle service.
