1. INTRODUCTION

Die Assemblies 45218, 45221, 69303--2 (shown in

Figure 1), and 69820 are used with the following tools

to crimp vinyl closed--end splices and nylon

closed--end splices onto solid and stranded wire sizes

22 through 10 AWG. For specific information

concerning the tools, refer to instruction sheet

(408--series) or customer manual (409--series) listed.

Read these instructions and referenced documents

before crimping any splices.

Dimensions on this instruction sheet are in

millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are

not drawn to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 8, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

The die assembly consist of an insert indenter

(moving die) and an insert anvil (stationary die).

The stationary die is identified by the chamfered

corners. The stationary die is marked with the die

assembly part number, wire size (AWG), and splice

type. When mated, the die assembly forms one

crimping chamber. Each die is secured in the tool by

a single screw.

3. DIE INSTALLATION

Install the die assembly onto the tool according to the

instructions supplied with the tool. If using the

pneumatic tooling assembly, follow the instructions

supplied with the applicable crimper or adapter.

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

Die Assembly 69820 requires an insulation crimp

adjustment. Before crimping any splices, refer to

Section 5 for proper adjustment.

1. Select proper wire combinations as stated in the

applicable wire combination chart specified in

Figure 2. Strip wires to length indicated in Figure 2.

Do not use wires with nicked or missing strands.

If conductors are twisted together to form a tight

bundle before inserting them into the splice, the

strip length must be maintained after twisting.

2. Insert the splice, wire barrel first, into the ejector

of the stationary die until splice bottoms. For nylon

splices, the shoulder must rest against the ejector;

for vinyl splices, the end of the wire barrel of must

rest against the locator. Die Assembly 69820 does

not have a locator; therefore, the wire barrel must

rest against the wire barrel section of the die. See

Figure 3. Close dies until splice is held in place.

3. Insert stripped wires into splice wire barrel until

conductors bottom. See Figure 3.

Always keep fingers clear of dies during tool

operation.
