3. WIRE PREPARATION AND CRIMP INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 2 lists the preferred wire strip lengths for
products discussed in this publication. However,
depending on your wire stripping machine adjustment
(strip length) capabilities, wire strip length may be
increased to the nearest 0.8 mm [.031 in.] if
necessary.
CAUTION
Do not use wires with nicked or missing
conductor strands.

1. INTRODUCTION
This Instruction Sheet (IS) covers the use and care of
Crimping Die Assemblies 59826--1, 59827--1, and
59828--1. See Figure 1. These dies are used to crimp
the PIDG* and PLASTI--GRIP* FASTON* terminals
and splices listed in Figure 2 which are designed to
be used in the various applicators and machines
listed in Figure 1.
Refer to the respective machine manual for crimp
instructions.
4. COLOR AND DOT CODE
Dies, terminals, and splices are color--coded for a
given wire range as shown in Figure 2. Color coding
is used as a method of verifying that the correct
combination of die set and terminal or splice was
used.
This controlled document is subject to change.

5. CRIMP INSPECTION
Inspect crimped terminals and splices by checking the
features described in Figure 3.
Use only the terminals and splices that meet
conditions shown in the “ACCEPT” column.
“REJECT” terminals and splices can be avoided
through careful use of instructions provided in the
machine manual and by performing regular die
maintenance as instructed in Paragraph 6 of this
Instruction Sheet.
2. Check the die alignment and tighten the die
holding screws regularly.
3. Make certain the dies are protected with a THIN
coat of any good SAE No. 20 motor oil. Do
NOT
oil
excessively.
4. When the dies are not in use, store them in a
clean, dry area.
6.3. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies and/or be supplied to
supervisory personnel responsible for the dies.
Though recommendations call for at least one
inspection a month, the inspection frequency should
be based on the amount of use, ambient working
conditions, operator training and skill, and established
company standards. These inspections should be
performed in the following sequence:
6. DIE MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURE
DANGER
Disconnect power supply from tooling before any
inspection, maintenance, adjustment, or repair.
TE Connectivity recommends that a
maintenance/inspection program be performed
periodically to ensure dependable and uniform
terminations. Frequency of inspection may be
adjusted to suit your requirements through
experience.
Frequency of inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
dies.
2. Type and size of products being crimped.
3. Skill level of the operator.
4. Presence of abnormal amounts of dust and dirt.
5. Your own established standards.
6.4. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the dies in a suitable commercial
degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic
material.
2. Make sure all die holding screws, retaining
rings, and die components are in place. Refer to
the parts list in Figure 8 if replacements are
necessary.
3. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Remove
and replace worn components.
4. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped
cracked, worn, or broken areas. Although dies may
gage within permissible limits, worn or damaged
die closure surfaces are objectionable and can
affect the quality of the crimp. See Figure 4. If
damage is evident, the dies must be repaired
before returning them to service (See Paragraph 7,
DIE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR).
6.1. Initial Die Inspection
The dies are thoroughly inspected before shipping.
The dies should be inspected immediately upon
arrival at your facility to ensure the dies have not
been damaged during shipment, and that they
conform to Figure 7. If the dies are damaged upon
arrival, retain the shipping container, file a claim with
the carrier, and notify TE immediately.
6.5. Die Closure Inspection
Every die set is inspected for proper die closure
dimensions before packaging. However, inspection of
die closure for excessive wear is required periodically.
Die closure inspection is accomplished using plug
gages.
TE neither manufactures nor sells plug gages. A
suggested plug gage design and the GO and NO--GO
dimensions for plug gage elements are given in
Figures 5 and 6. For additional information concerning
the use of a plug gage, refer to Instruction Sheet
408--7424.
Clean oil or dirt from the die closure surfaces,
bottoming surfaces, and plug gage elements.
6.2. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the dies be
made aware of — and responsible for — the following
four steps of daily maintenance.
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
from the dies with a clean brush, or a soft, lint--free
cloth. Do
NOT
use objects that could damage the
dies.

2. With wire barrel crimp dies bottomed, inspect
the wire barrel crimp die closure using the proper
plug gage. Hold gage in straight alignment with the
die closure and carefully insert, without forcing, the
GO element. The GO element must pass
completely through the wire barrel crimp die
closure.
3. Try to insert the NO--GO element. The NO--GO
element may enter partially, but must not pass
completely through the wire barrel crimp die
closure.

B. Insulation Crimp Die Closure
(Figure 7B)
1. With the wire barrel crimp dies bottomed and
not under pressure, adjust the dies to meet the
“gage dimension” as shown in Figure 7B.
2. Inspect the insulation crimp die closure using
the proper plug gage in the same manner as steps
6.5.A. (2) and (3).
If both the wire barrel and insulation crimp die
closures meet the plug gage conditions, the dies are
considered to be correct and should be lubricated with
a THIN coat of any good SAE No. 20 motor oil. If not,
the dies must be repaired before returning them to
service (See Paragraph 7, DIE REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR).
