1. INTRODUCTION
NOTE
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in
millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures and
Crimping Die Assemblies listed in Figure 1 are
designed for use in the terminal applicators contained
in the power units listed. Each die assembly, when
installed in the terminal applicator, crimps
SOLISTRAND terminals onto the appropriate wire
size listed in Figure 2.
These instructions provide specific information
regarding the die assemblies and applicable
terminals. For information regarding operation of the
power unit, refer to the applicable customer manual.
Read these instructions and any referenced
instructions thoroughly before using the dies.
i
illustrations are for reference only and are not
drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are
provided in Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION
Each die assembly features a nest die and indenter
die with mounting screws and retaining rings for
securing the dies to the applicator.
NOTE
The dies are coated with a preservative to
prevent rust and corrosion. Before use, wipe the
i
preservative from the dies, particularly from the
crimping surfaces.

STRIP LENGTH
For die installation, machine setup, and machine
operation, refer to the instructions packaged with the
machine. Use the appropriate wire size and strip
length according to Figure 2.
Inspect crimped terminals according to Figure 3. Use
only the terminals that meet the conditions shown in
the “ACCEPT” column. “REJECT” terminals can be
avoided by following the above procedures and by
performing regular die maintenance, as provided in
Section 4, MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION.

Frequency of inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
dies.
2. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. Your own established standards.
The dies are inspected before being shipped;
however, it is recommended that the dies be
inspected immediately upon arrival at your facility to
ensure that no damage occurred during shipment.
Due to the precision design, it is important that no
parts of these dies be interchanged except those
replacement parts listed in Section 5.

Inspection of Crimping Chamber
This inspection requires the use of a plug gage
conforming to the dimensions shown in Figure 4. To
gage the crimping chamber, refer to Figure 4, and
proceed as follows:
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping
chamber and plug gage.
Dies Bottomed But
2. Align the GO element with the crimping
chamber. Push element straight into the chamber
without using force. The GO element must pass
completely through the crimping chamber.
3. Check the crimping chamber with the NO–GO
element in the same manner as Step 2. The
NO–GO element may start entry, but must not
pass completely through the crimping chamber.
If dies conform to the gage inspection, they are
considered dimensionally correct. If not correct, refer
to Section 5, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR, for
information on obtaining customer repair service.
For additional information regarding the use of a plug
gage, refer to instruction sheet 408–7424.
GO element must pass
completely through the
crimping chamber.
Not Under Pressure
NO-GO element may enter
partially, but must not pass
completely through the
crimping chamber.
