Locating Devices
Our military-grade and aerospace-certified Locating Devices are engineered to precisely position pin and socket contacts in the crimping area for optimal termination results. Positioners, turrets, and locators ensure the contact barrel is held at the correct depth and orientation inside the tool frame during the crimp cycle, maintaining exact alignment, eliminating operator error, and guaranteeing highly repeatable results across high-volume production runs.
Our extensive inventory includes bayonet positioners, multi-position turret heads, and dedicated locators for circular connectors, rectangular rack-and-panel assemblies, and OEM-specific wiring applications. We stock tools matching active governing aerospace specifications, including SAE AS22520/2 (superseding legacy M22520/2 and MIL-DTL-22520/2 miniature frames) and SAE AS22520/7 (formerly M22520/7 intermediate frames). These units are fully compatible with miniature four-indent hand tools and pneumatic power crimp presses from leading manufacturers like Astro Tool and Daniels Manufacturing Corp (DMC).
Whether you are outfitting an aerospace wire harness assembly facility or sourcing a replacement positioner for standardized AS39029 (M39029) or MS-standard machined contacts, our American-made locator inventory provides the exact, micro-tolerance depth-control required to pass strict defense procurement inspections.
