The Astro 615708 is qualified to MIL-DTL-22520/1. This dial selectable 8-step tool has extensive applications within the wire barrel sizes 12-22 and wire sizes 12-26 AWG. This tool produces an eight indent crimp configuration which provides maximum tensile strength for both MS and proprietary contacts when used with wire of various compositions.

The beauty of this tool is in the ease of its use. The operator simply has to attach the appropriate turret head, or universal positioner, to the tool and then set the selector to the desired step for the wire being used. The ratchet is designed to ensure a complete cycle of the tool. A complete and accurate crimp is obtained each and every time, with no partial crimps.

The 615708 tool is designed to be used with a turret head, a positioner or a universal head. These heads are easily attached with the use of built in hex socket screws. A data plate is permanently attached to each head. The data plate lists the contacts, for which the head was designed, along with selector settings that correspond to the wire being used.

Astro recommends that all of its tools be gaged periodically, to assure accurate calibration. A gage 615716 (M22520/3-1) is available for this purpose.

The 615708 tool is 91⁄4 inches long and weighs approximately 20 ounces.

The 615708 is available in a pneumatic version, P/N APC708.

An adjustable positioner is available, P/N 615712 and 615712-1. A wide variety of Turret Heads and Positioners are available, in addition to those listed.
