Introduction
Parallel Action Hand Tool CAT-HT-144-2830-12 was designed to crimp T1M44R & T1M44M (TFSXX Part
Series) contacts on 28 or 30 AWG Wire.
This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this document. The tool is
not adjustable. Variation in production batches of tools, connectors, wire stranding and insulation types
may affect crimp parameters. This tool is intended for conductor sizes listed on this document. The tool
may not give a good insulation crimp support for all wire insulation sizes of the same wire gauge.
Crimping Procedure
1. This tool can accept pins directly
from a reel; however, if strips are
preferred, Samtec recommends
using ~6” length strips.
2. Squeeze the handles until the tool
ratchet releases, allowing the
handles to fully open (Figure 1).
3. Slide the terminal carrier strip
under the contact holder plate and
align the carrier strip feed holes
with the locating ball detent
features. This tool is designed for
a single carrier strip terminal
(Figure 2).
4. Partially close the hand tool until you
engage the first click of the ratchet.
5. Insert a pre-stripped wire over the
terminal crimp barrels; align the wire
in the groove on the locator plate.
6. Close the handles together until the
ratchet mechanism has completed
the cycle and the handles release to
the fully opened position.

7. Remove the crimped contact from the tool.
8. Manually feed the strip to locate the next terminal for
crimping.
CAUTION: Should a terminal become stuck or jammed
in a partially closed position, DO NOT use force to open
or close the handles. The tool will easily open by
pushing the ratchet release lever up (Figure 3).
Tool Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and be responsible for, following
these maintenance steps:
•The tool was engineered for durability. However, for maximum service life and trouble free crimping,
establish a good process of scheduled maintenance and lubrication.
•Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush or soft, lint-free cloth ONLY.
•Make certain all pins, pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality
machine oil. Do NOT oil excessively (Figure 4).
•Wipe excess oil from the hand tool, particularly from the crimping area.
•It is recommended to use light oil on all
pivot points every 5000 crimps, or
every 3 months.
•When tool is not in use, keep the
handles closed to prevent objects from
becoming lodged in the crimping area.
•Store the tool in a clean dry place.

Adjusting the Handle Pre-Load
The tool is calibrated at the factory to the optimum pre-load required to achieve a proper crimp. It may
become necessary, over the life of the tool, to adjust the handle pre-load force.
Follow the steps below to adjust the crimping force of the hand tool to obtain proper crimp parameters
(Figure 5):
•Remove 2 mm locking
screw from the
adjustment wheel using
TORX head wrench.
•Using a small
screwdriver, turn the
adjustment wheel to the
next marked position.
•The tool uses an
eccentric axle linkage
mechanism. To increase
the handle pre-load,
move the wheel
clockwise to the next
highest odd number, or
counterclockwise to the
next highest even number.
•Turn the wheel until the desired number is located over the 2 mm tapped hole.
•Replace the 2 mm locking screw, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel.
•Check the crimp against the specifications, and conduct a pull test after the tool handle pre-load force
is adjusted. Repeat the steps until the desired crimp performance is obtained.
