moving die has square corners and has a specific
wire size marked on it: 18--16 AWG for Die Assembly
58493--1 and 14 AWG for Die Assembly 58492--1.
The locator/insulation stop has two functions: it
positions the contact in the crimping dies, and it aids
in locating the wire in the contact. In use, the
locator/insulation stop rests against the end of the
wire barrel. The contact support prevents the contact
from bending during the crimping operation.
When mated, the dies create a crimping chamber.
3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Install the dies according to the instructions packaged
with the tool. Refer to Figure 2 and select wire
(stranded only) of the specified size. Strip the wire to
the length indicated, taking care not to cut or nick the
wire strands.

1. INTRODUCTION
Crimping Dies 58492--1 and 58493--1 are designed
for use in either Straight Action Adapter 217200--1
(408--4105) or Pneumatic C--Head Adapter 318161--1
(408--4190) installed in 626 Pneumatic Tooling or
Hand Crimping Tool 69710--1 (408--2095). The die
assembly, when installed in a tool, will crimp
AMPINNERGY* contacts listed in Figure 2 onto
stranded wire.
These instructions provide specific information
regarding the die assemblies and applicable contacts.
Refer to the instruction sheet (408--series) packaged
with the tool for information regarding die installation
and general performance of the tool.

2. DESCRIPTION
Each die assembly features a stationary die (crimper),
a movable die (anvil), a locator/insulation stop, and a
contact support. Refer to Figure 1.
The stationary die has chamfered corners and has
the wire size range (18--14 AWG) marked on it. The

Refer to Figure 3 and proceed as follows:
1. Looking straight into the front of the crimping
chamber, insert the contact (wire barrel first) into
the back of the locator/insulation stop. Position the
contact in the stationary die (crimper) so that the
contact butts against the locator/insulation stop.
2. Hold the contact in position and close the dies
just enough to hold the contact in place; do not
deform the wire barrel.
3. Insert a properly stripped wire through the wire
slot in the locator/insulation stop and into the wire
barrel of the contact until the insulation butts
against the locator/insulation stop.
4. Hold the wire in place, and actuate the tool
through a complete cycle.
