S-Spring Receptacle Dimpling Tool
The 9916-2-1xxx-BB is used to dimple the support to allow the retainer to nest within the support so that the panel and support are in direct contact. The 9902-2-1xxx-BB is used to support the support during dimpling.

The triple-x (xxx) in the tool part number is for the stud size number: i.e., 3, 4, 5, or 65.

The triple-x (xxx) in the tool part number is for the stud size number, i.e., 3, 4, 5, or 65

If the stud panel is flat on the underside and counter-sunk for the stud head on top, the support hole does not need to be dimpled. In this case, prepare the support for non-flush head studs.

A panel stud hole which is dimpled for a GF grommet requires a different support dimple than a hole which is dimpled and reverse clinched with no grommet.

S-Spring Receptacle Dimpling Tool

If the stud is installed with a 1276 Grommet, the 9916-2-6xxx-BB is used to dimple the support.

If the stud is installed without a grommet (dimpled and reverse-clinched panel stud hole), use the 9916-2-6-Nxxx-BB to dimple the support.

In both cases, the 9902-2-6xxx-BB Side A is used for support during dimpling.

Use of Receptacles Other Than S-Spring Using Flush Head studs with any ST-1200 Line receptacle, other than the S-Spring, requires that the stud hole through the panel be flat on the underside and countersunk for the stud head on top.
