4.2 How to Use the Crimping Tool and Pin Extractor
A crimping tool is necessary for connection of wires to the contact pins of the 38P connector.
The pin extractor removes the contact pin from the connector body. This paragraph describes
how to crimp and extract a contact pin.

How to use the crimping tool
1. Strip the vinyl sheath of the wire to expose the core by 3.2
mm to 4 mm.
2. Hold the crimping tool horizontally and insert the contact
pin with its slit facing downward into the crimp hole on the
crimping tool.
3. Insert the wire onto the contact pin and squeeze the handle
until the ratchet releases. (Place the wire deep enough into
the contact pin so that its end comes in contact with the
stopper plate of the crimping tool.) With crimping completed,
pull the wire while holding the contact pin to make sure that
the pin is fastened tightly.
How to use the pin extractor
If a contact pin is inserted into an incorrect hole on the
connector body, remove it with the pin extractor.
1. Push the pin extractor into the pin hole from the side
opposite to the pin inserting side.
2. Push in the head of the pin extractor. The retaining
spring comes free and the contact pin can be removed.
