2. Insert shank of stationary die into top section of
crimping head and tighten retaining screw.
See Figure 2A for COPALUM Terminal and Splices
or Figure 2B for HF--30 Pin and Socket Contacts.
NOTE
i
Ensure that the dies are inserted fully and that
the “flats” on shanks are facing the operator.
2. Strip wire to dimension indicated in Figure 2A
for COPALUM Terminals and Splices or Figure 2B
for HF--30 Pin and Socket Contacts.
3. Activate power unit to advance ram until
setscrew is visible.
DANGER
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. Exercise extreme
caution when using power unit. Avoid depressing
foot switch or trigger control when installing or
removing die assemblies.
4. Loosen setscrew and insert shank of moving die
into ram well. Tighten setscrew.
5. Activate power unit to complete cycle and allow
ram to return to down position.
2.2. Die Removal
1. Loosen retaining screw in top section of
crimping head and remove die.
2. Raise ram to full up position. Loosen setscrew in
ram and remove die.
DANGER
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. Exercise extreme
caution when using power unit. Avoid depressing
foot switch or trigger control when installing or
removing die assemblies.
3. WIRE STRIPPING AND CRIMPING PROCEDURE
3.1. Wire Stripping Procedure
1. Select the proper size terminal, splice, or HF--30
pin and socket contact for the wire size being used.
CAUTION
!
Do NOT nick or cut conductor strands. When
stripping wires for HF- 30 Pin and Socket
Contacts, be sure to remove clear plastic
insulation material from conductors prior to
crimping.
3.2. Crimping COPALUM Terminals
DANGER
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY; when operating
power unit, exercise caution while holding
terminals or wire near crimping area. Never place
anything within the crimping dies except
COPALUM terminals and splices and HF- 30 pin
and socket contacts.
1. Ensure that the wire size stamped on the
terminal corresponds with the size marked on the
dies.
2. Center terminal wire barrel in stationary die.
Terminals may be crimped with tongue facing
either die. (Tyco Electronics recommends the
terminal positioning shown in Figure 3:) (tongue
toward moving die.)
NOTE
i
Depending on conductor hardness, and if near
maximum conductor CMA limit is reached, some
cracking may occur in crimp area when terminal
is crimped with tongue toward stationary die.
