Miniature Adjustable Crimp Tool
612596 (MS3198-1)
• 8-indent crimp
• Cycle controlled
• Dial selectable
• Uses bayonet-style positioners
The Astro 612596 meets performance requirements for MS3198-1 and M22520/34-01. This lightweight compact tool uses MS3198, M22520/2 and proprietary bayonet-style positioners to crimp most pin and socket contacts smaller than size 20 to wires size 20 AWG and smaller.
The 612596 is step-adjustable to eight preselected crimp depths. The correct crimp depth is determined by using the data plate located on each positioner. This tool utilizes the same positive ratchet found on other Astro crimpers, which requires the completion of each crimp cycle before the handles will return to their open position. This feature insures the integrity of every crimp.
Astro recommends the periodic gaging off all its crimping tools. For this purpose Astro offers the M22520/3-1 (615716) gage with the tool in the number 8 selector position. For use on M22520/34-01 applications Astro recommends using the M22520/35 (621064) gage with the crimp depth selector set on the number 6 setting.
