1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet provides instructions on product
application, and maintenance and inspection
procedures for SOLISTRAND Crimping Dies which
are used in Crimping Heads 69097 and 69099. See
Figure 1.
These dies are used to crimp SOLISTRAND
Terminals and Splices onto solid or stranded copper
wire in AWG sizes of 8--4/0.
Basic instructions on the use of the dies, die insertion
and removal, etc., are provided in Section 2,
INSTRUCTIONS. Section 3, CRIMP INSPECTION
features a terminal and splice crimp inspection
procedure. Section 4, MAINTENANCE AND
INSPECTION, will enable you to establish and
maintain a die certification program.
The dies are coated with a preservative to prevent
rust and corrosion. Wipe this preservative from the
dies, particularly from the crimping areas.

NOTE
Lock screws in the top section of the crimping
head and in the ram are not used when installing
dies with retaining rings on shanks.

Ensure that the dies are inserted “fully” and that
the “flats” on the shanks are facing the lock
screws.

3. Loosen the ram lock screw and insert the shank
of the moving die into the ram well. Tighten the
lock screw. See Figure 3.
2. Insert the shank of the stationary die into the top
section of the crimping head. See Figure 2. The
retaining clip will hold the die in place.
3. Activate the power unit to advance the ram until
the lock screw is visible.
4. Loosen the lock screw and insert the shank of
the moving die into the ram well. See Figure 2. The
retaining ring will hold the die in place.
5. Activate the power unit to complete the cycle
and allow the ram to return to the “DOWN”
position.
2.2. Die Removal
In crimping head 69097, insert the screwdriver blade
under the base of the stationary and moving dies.
Apply a prying action to loosen and remove the dies.
In crimping head 69099, loosen the lock screws in the
top section of the crimping head and ram and remove
the dies.
2.3. Wire Stripping and Crimping Procedures
A. Wire Stripping Procedure
Strip the wire to the dimensions shown in the table
in Figure 1.
CAUTION
Do not nick or cut the conductor strands.
B. Crimping Head 69099
1. Loosen the lock screw in the top section of the
crimping head. See Figure 3.
2. Insert the shank of the stationary die into the top
section of the crimping head and tighten the lock
screw. See Figure 3.
!

Ensure that the wire size stamped on the terminal
or splice corresponds with the wire size stamped
on the stationary die. Crimping head 69099 is
shown in Figures 3 thru 6. The crimping procedure
is identical when using crimping head 69097.
1. Place the terminal or splice in the stationary die
as shown in Figures 4, 5, or 6. For best results,
position the terminal or splice so that the brazed
seam faces the moving die.
2. Activate the power unit so that the crimping die
advances and holds the terminal or splice in place.
Do not deform the terminal or splice barrel.
3. Insert the stripped wire all the way into the
terminal or splice barrel.
4. Activate the power unit to complete the crimp.
5. To crimp the other half of the butt splice, remove
and reposition the uncrimped half in the stationary
die. Insert the wire and crimp the splice.
6. Refer to Section 3, CRIMP INSPECTION and
Figure 7 for crimp inspection information.
NOTE
If SOLISTRAND terminals or splices stick in the
die after crimping, apply a rocking motion to
remove them from the die.

3. CRIMP INSPECTION
Inspect crimped terminals and splices by checking the
features described in Figure 7. Use only the terminals
and splices that meed the conditions shown in the
ACCEPT
3
“ACCEPT” column. “REJECT” terminals and splices
can be avoided through careful use of instructions in
Section 2, INSTRUCTIONS, and by performing
regular die maintenance as instructed in Section 4,
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES.

4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES
TE Connectivity recommends that a maintenance and
inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. Dies
should be inspected at least once a month.
Frequency of inspection may be adjusted to suit your
requirements through experience. Frequency of
inspection is dependent upon:
Dies for the 69099 Tool
1. Clean oil and dirt from the die closure surfaces
and plug gage members.
2. Assemble and adjust the dies to meet the “gage
dimension” indicated in Figure 10, Detail “A”.
3. With the crimping dies assembled as described
in steps 1 and 2, check the wire barrel crimp die
closure using the proper plug gage. Hold gage in
straight alignment with the die closure and carefully
try to inset them without forcing the GO member
as shown in Figure 10, Detail “A”. The GO member
must pass completely through the die closure as
shown in Figure 10, Detail “B”.
4. Try to insert the NO--GO member. The NO--GO
member may enter partially, but must not pass
completely through the die closure. See Figure 10,
Detail “B”.
5. If the dies meet the GO NO--GO gage
conditions, the dies may be considered
dimensionally correct. If you find that the dies no
not conform with the GO NO--GO gage conditions,
contact your local TE Field Representative.

dies.

The presence of abnormal amount of dust and
dirt.
Your own established standards.
Since there is a possibility of die damage in shipment,
new dies should be inspected in accordance with the
following instructions when received in your plant.
4.1. Cleaning
Do not allow deposits of dirt, grease, and foreign
matter to accumulate in the die closure surfaces and
on the bottoming surfaces of the dies. These deposits
may prevent the dies from bottoming fully and may
also cause excessive wear in the die closure
surfaces, thereby affecting the quality of the crimp.
The dies should be wiped clean frequently with a
clean cloth.
4.2. Visual Inspection
Visually inspect the die closure surfaces for broken,
pitted, or chipped areas. Although dies may gage
within possible limits, worn or damaged die closure
surfaces are objectionable and can affect the quality
of the crimp. Examples of possible damaged die
closure surfaces are shown in Figure 8.

4.3. Die Closure Inspection
Every die set is inspected for proper die closure
before packaging. An inspection should be performed
periodically to check the die closure for excessive
wear. The die closure inspection is accomplished
using the GO NO--GO plug gage. TE neither
manufactures nor sells plug gages. A suggested plug
gage design and the GO NO--GO dimensions of the
plug gage members are listed in Figure 9. The
following procedure is recommended for inspecting
the die closure.
Pitted Area
Dies for the 69097 Tool
1. Clean oil and dirt from the die closure surfaces
and plug gage members.
2. Assemble the dies so that they are bottomed
but not under pressure. See Figure 10, Detail “A”.
