1. INTRODUCTION

Pneumatic crimping heads listed in Figure 1 are

designed for use in Pneumatic Tool 69015. The

heads, when installed in the tool, will crimp

SOLISTRAND* terminals and splices and

STRATO–THERM* heat–resistant uninsulated

terminals onto solid or stranded copper wire sizes 8

through 1/0 AWG. Refer to Figure 2 for types of

terminals and splices and applicable crimping heads.

Read these instructions thoroughly before using the

crimping head.

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in metric

units [with U.S. customary units in brackets].

Figures and illustrations are for reference only

and are not drawn to scale.

For information regarding head insertion and removal

and general operation of the pneumatic tool, refer to

Instruction Sheet 408–1310.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

Each crimping head features an upper and lower

crimping jaw linked to a toggle lever which is used to

position the head in the tool and to control the

opening and closing of the crimping jaws when the

tool is actuated (refer to Figure 1).

3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

Install the appropriate crimping head onto the tool

according to Instruction Sheet 408–1310. Refer to

Figure 2, and select the appropriate terminal or splice

and wire. Ensure that the wire size stamped on

terminal or splice corresponds with the wire size

stamped on the link of the crimping head.

For product part numbers, refer to Catalog 65505

for SOLISTRAND terminals and splices, and

Catalog 82011 for STRATO-THERM

heat-resistant uninsulated terminals.

Strip the wire to the length indicated in Figure 2. Do

NOT cut or nick the wire. Then proceed as follows:

1. Insert stripped wire into terminal or splice until

end of wire is flush with or extended slightly

beyond end of wire barrel, or until wire butts

against wire stop.
