1. Strip wire to dimensions listed in Figure 1. Do
NOT nick or cut conductor strands.
2. Insert stripped wire in terminal. End of wire must
be flush with or extend beyond edge of terminal
wire barrel.
3. Place terminal on dies. See Figure 3, Detail A.
Bottom of terminal tongue should face stationary
die and terminal wire barrel should rest against
spring–loaded locator.
NOTE
i
When crimping pre-insulated AMPOWER
terminals in die 1490410-1, it will be necessary

dies as shown in Figure 3, Detail B. Bottom of
terminal tongue faces stationary die and rear of
terminal tongue butts against the side of the die.
4. Hold terminal in place and activate power unit to
complete crimp. Remove crimped terminal.
NOTE
