Specifications

• M22520/1-01
• The AF8® accommodates 12 - 26 AWG wire range
• The AF8 is qualified to MIL-DTL-22520/1 and AS22520/1
• The AF8 is compatible with DMC® single and multiple-position turret heads

Over a thousand turret heads are available to adapt the tool frame to your specific military or proprietary contact/wire combination. The 8-impression crimp, standard in the AF8, assures maximum tensile strength with almost every closed barrel contact. Unique indent configurations and gaging are available upon request.

For proper operation, the tool must be mated with one of the following optional accessories: a military standard or non-military turret head (TH-XXX Part No. Series), a military standard or non-military positioner (TP-XXX Part No. Series), or an adjustable head (Part number UH2-5). This is done simply by orienting the lead in the keyed position and tightening the hex socket screws provided as part of the head.

The precision ratchet controls the cycling of the tool in both directions of handle movement. This assures the same accurate crimp every time. It's like having a quality control inspector at every workstation. Positive crimp depth is controlled by an 8-position selector knob conveniently located on the tool frame. The operator dials the desired step for the wire being used. This setting can be secured by using a locking pin or safety wire.

A permanent data plate is affixed to all turret heads and positioners. This plate lists specific contact part numbers, the corresponding position color code (for three-position turret heads), and suggested selector depth settings for the wire size.

The AF8 is approximately 9.75" x 2.5" x 1.25" and weighs 15 oz.
