1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the use of Crimping Die

Assemblies listedinFigure1, which areusedtocrimp

COPALUM Terminals and Splices and HF--30 Pin and

Socket Contacts. The die assemblies are used in

Crimping Heads 69082, 69099, 1752786--1, and

1752868--1. Refer to instruction sheet packaged with

the crimping head for information concerning die

installation and general performance of the head.

2. DESCRIPTION

The die assemblies consist of stationary dies (nest)

and moving dies (indenter). Refer to Figure 2A

(COPALUM contacts) or Figure 2B (HF--30 Contacts)

to ensure the compatibility of die assemblies,

crimping heads, and terminals and splices. These

dies are used to crimp COPALUM Terminals and

Splices on No. 8 through 500 MCM stranded or solid,

aluminum or copper{ wire and HF--30 Pin and Socket

Contacts for stranded aluminum and copper wire

sizes specified in Figure 2B.

Dies are coated with preservative to prevent rust and

corrosion. Wipe this preservative away from dies,

particularly from crimping areas.

For further instructions on the hydraulic power unit

and hydraulic crimping heads, refer to the instructions

packaged with these tools.

2.1. Die Installation

AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. Exercise extreme

caution when using power unit. Avoid depressing

foot switch or trigger control when installing or

removing die assemblies. DO NOT MIX DIE

COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT DIE SETS.

The radii of both dies must match the radii of the tool.

SeeFigure1.
