1. DESCRIPTION
The Clincher connector handtool HT 270 is designed to terminate Clincher Male and Female connectors from 2
through 34 positions.
2. SPECIFICATIONS
??FCI Clincher Male and Female connector
??Number of positions: 2 through 34
??Product part number:
Male clincher 66226-series
Female clincher 65801-series
??Cable: flat conductor, flat cable or flexible circuitry
??Conductor width: 1.57 mm
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the handtool in your hand, so that the movable handle (item 2) may be actuated by your thumb.
2. Place Clincher connector on the anvil (item 23a).
3. Place cable well positioned in the connector.
4. Close handtool by moving the handle (item 2) and hold Clincher connector with cable in place.
5. When the handtool is completely closed, the movable handle (item 2) may be returned to its standing position.
6. Repeat procedure 1-4 when a Clincher connector is used with more than 4 positions.
7. Close the connector.
Note: The handtool has stops, which prevents opening the tool before the clinch action is complete. Should it
be necessary, the stop can be released by turning the ratchet wheel at the back of the tool in the direction
indicated by the two yellow arrows. Keep the movable handle under light pressure during this operation.
4. ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting clinch height
1. Use enclosed hollow-head screw wrench number 2 and special wrench with the blue grip. (Hollow-head
screw wrench number 2.5 is used for replacing clinch tooling only).
2. After removing the two button cap screws (item 10) it is possible to turn the stop ring (item 9 and 9a)
3. Place the handtool so that the FCI name plate side is up.
4. Turn the eccentric pin (item 8) with special wrench one position in clockwise direction.
5. Check the height of the clinch.
6. If the clinch is still too high, then the eccentric pin should be turned one position further.
7. If the height of the clinch is correct, remount the two button head cap screws (item 10).
5. MAINTENANCE
??Regular checks must be made on pressplate and anvil.
??If necessary, these parts may be cleaned.
??Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. For part numbers see parts list (6.)
??Movable parts should be lightly oiled. For this purpose use the oil that is enclosed in the case.
??For 20z copper, 0.0711/.0028 thick, laminated between two layers of polyester insulating material - total
nominal thickness 0.260/.011:
Instruction manual HT270 www.foehrenbach.be
Date: 24-10-2003 Revision: 3 Page: 4/8
clinch height should be 0.91/.0360 + 0.076/.0030-0.025/.0010.
??For 30z copper, 0.1067/.0042 thick, laminated between two layers of polyester insulating material - total
nominal thickness 0.330/.013:
clinch height should be 0.965/.038 ? 0.025/.0010.
??For flex circuitry not conforming to IPC FC-2208 cable specification, a clinch height guide of 0.64/.025
added to the circuitry thickness should be used. Clinch height tolerance should be ? 0.025/.0010.
Because of the variety of circuitry and types of conductive links, consult with a FCI technical representative
for specific applications.
