Pneumatic Platform Adapters 679992- 1 and 679992- 2
408- 4098
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The platform adapter features a top jaw with a
platform, a bottom jaw, and an adjustable stop. The
top jaw has a mounting hole and the bottom jaw has a
socket head setscrew for securing the crimping die
assembly. The stop adjusts for various terminal series
size. In addition, Adapter --1 has a spring--loaded
locator assembly which aids in positioning the
terminal between the jaws.
The die assembly consists of a lower die and an
upper die, each marked with a color dot code that
must match the color of the terminal insulation.
When closed, the die assembly forms two crimping
chambers, each marked with the wire size range.
After the operator locates the terminal and inserts the
stripped wire, the tool is activated to complete the
crimp. The crimped terminal will display a crimp dot
code which indicates that the correct crimping die
assembly was used.
