Miniature Adjustable Indent Crimp Tool with Cycle Counter

AFM8-CC

Qualified to MIL-DTL-22520/2* and AS22520/2*, the DMC AFM8 is designed for most of the miniature and sub-miniature connector types that are so widely used in electronic systems. The AFM8 meets the need for a miniature tool accommodating wire sizes 20 through 32 AWG.

The AFM8 gives a Mil-Standard 8 impression crimp, which assures maximum tensile strength. The cycle controlled precision ratchet assures consistently accurate crimps every time.  The tool frame has a built-in 8 step selector knob for ease in dialing the correct crimp depth setting for the wire being used.

Positioners adapt the tool frame to a particular application. The data plate on each positioner designates which contacts the positioner accommodates for its wire size and indicates selector position. The positioner is easily removed and changed.

Periodic gaging is recommended to insure accurate calibration. This is easily accomplished with the M22520/3-1 “GO/NO-GO” gage (DMC part no. G125) on SEL setting #8. The AFM8 is 6 3/4" in length and weighs approximately 10 oz.

Other than keeping the tool clean and properly stored when not in use, no operator maintenance is required.
