AFM8 - CRIMP TOOL M22520/2-01

Qualified to MIL-DTL-22520/2 and AS22520/2, the AFM8 is designed for most miniature and sub-miniature connector types widely used in electronic systems.

The AFM8 fulfills the need for a miniature tool that can accommodate wire sizes from 20 to 32 AWG. The AFM8 provides a Mil-Standard 8 crimp that ensures maximum tensile strength.

The cycle-controlled precision ratchet ensures consistently accurate crimps every time. The tool frame has a built-in 8-position selector switch to set the correct crimp depth for the wire being used.

Positioners customize the tool frame for a specific application. The nameplate on each positioner indicates which contacts the positioner will accept for the wire diameter and the position of the selector. The positioner can be easily removed and replaced.

Regular measurement is recommended to ensure accurate calibration. This can be easily accomplished with the M22520/3-1 "GO/NO-GO" gauge (DMC Part No. G125) on SEL setting #8. The AFM8 is 6 3/4" long and weighs approximately 10 oz.

Other than keeping the unit clean and properly stored when not in use, no operator maintenance is required. DMC Europe offers a complete factory service by knowledgeable technicians within a reasonable period of time. Detailed instructions for use, care and warranty are supplied with each tool.

The DMC274 tool kit includes the AFM8 tool frame, tool gauge and all mil-specific positioners. The DMC274 also contains instruction sheets for the tools and a tool selection table.
