1. INTRODUCTION

The crimping die assemblies listed in Figure 1 are

used to crimp COPALUM sealed terminals and

splices.

The crimping die assemblies must be installed into

the crimping heads shown in Figure 1. Refer to the

instruction sheet packaged with the crimping head for

information concerning die installation and general

performance of the head.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.

Read these instructions thoroughly before using the

die assemblies.

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in

millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures and

illustrations are for reference only and are not

drawn to scale.

The die assemblies consist of stationary dies (nests)

and moving dies (anvils). Refer to Figure 2 to ensure

the compatibility of die assemblies, crimping heads,

and terminals and splices.

2.1. Die Installation

To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS DISCONNECT

electrical and air supply to power unit before

installing dies.

The shanks on the moving and stationary dies are

offset, and there are alignment dots on the FRONT

surface of the dies. The shanks of the dies must be

offset to the same surface and the dots must be

aligned, and face the operator, in order to achieve

proper mating of the dies.

DO NOT mix die components from different die

assemblies.

Refer to Instruction Sheet 408–9535 for die

installation procedure for Crimping Head 58422–1;

408–2453 for Crimping Head 69066; 408–8914

for Crimping Head 1752787–1; and 408–8956 for

Crimping Head 1752877–1.

Refer to Figure 2 and select the appropriate wire, die

assembly, and terminal or splice. Strip the wire to the

length indicated in the table.

DO NOT nick or cut the wire strands.

For aluminum-to-aluminum application, butt

splices will accept the same wire size at either

end. However, for aluminum-to-copper

applications, the size of the copper wire must be

decreased to a smaller size to compensate for

differences in the electrical properties of copper

and aluminum. It is also necessary to use a

smaller wire size when using copper wire in a

terminal. Refer to CMA range listed with each

wire size in Figure 2.
