Universal crimp tool for 3M Hot Melt, Crimplok and Epoxy Connectors contains four dies (0.190", 0.137", 0.120" dies, and 0.151" hex die).3M provides connectors with zirconia ceramic ferrules for use with two-part or anaerobic epoxy. These very high quality connectors are ideal for use in factory assembly applications or in field-mount restorations where a broad temperature range and stringent performance standards are required. The following 3M materials are available to use with common termination tools available on the market. 3M highly recommends 3M Epoxy 8692 which is cured at 87.C or higher for 20 minutes minimum to meet Telcordia GR-326 requirements. It is also important to use the proper syringe dispensing tip to assure proper placement of adhesives inside the connector ferrule and avoid overflow. 3M Epoxy SC/APC and FC/APC Connectors require the angle polishing puck included in the APC conversion kits.
