Description
TE Connectivity SDE Hand Tool for Crimp Connectors 2388970-1 — BOLTON SKU 59407.
About the 2388970-1 TE SDE Hand Tool for Crimp
TE Connectivity part 2388970-1 is an SDE-SA commercial hand tool assembly from TE’s SDE Crimp commercial tooling system, documented by TE for crimping Deutsch size 16 stamped-and-formed pin and socket contacts. The SDE (Standard Die Envelope) concept standardises the die pocket so that die sets are interchangeable between manual and power-assisted tool frames, letting a workshop move from hand tooling to bench tooling without requalifying different die geometries. TE’s instruction sheet for this assembly describes a tool frame with two jaws, a handle and a controlled full-cycle mechanism with an emergency release, supporting consistent, repeatable crimps. Distributor listings quote a wire size range of 17-14 AWG for this assembly. Confirm your exact Deutsch contact part numbers in the RFQ so the tool-and-die pairing can be verified against TE’s application tooling documentation.
