SOLISTRAND Flag Terminal Crimping Dies
408-9785
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
Each die assembly consist of a nest and indenter
which are retained in the crimping tool by ball
plungers. The nest is positioned in the yoke of the
crimping tool and the indenter is positioned in the ram
of the tool in all applications.
4.1. Wire Stripping
Obtain the correct wire, terminal or splice, and
crimping tool (with correct die assembly installed) for
your application. Strip wire insulation to the
dimensions indicated in Figure 2, taking care not to
nick or cut conductor(s), and proceed as follows.
3. DIE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
Refer to Figure 1 and determine the correct die nest
and indenter with the wire size to be used in the
crimping tool.
DANGER
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. Exercise extreme
caution when using power unit. Avoid depressing
foot switch or trigger control when installing or
removing die assemblies.
4.2. Crimping Procedure
1. Ensure that wire size stamped on flag terminal
corresponds to wire size being used in the
application and wire size stamped on nest and
indenter.
2. Center flag terminal wire barrel in die nest.
When crimping flag terminals in head no. 69067,
hold tongue of flag terminals against nest as
shown in Figure 2.
CAUTION
!
Do NOT place dies under pressure without first
inserting the correct terminal and wire. Doing so
could damage the dies.
3.1. Die Installation
1. Remove latch pin on head of crimping head and
open yoke.
2. Push nest into yoke until nest snaps into
position.
3. Activate power unit to advance ram to
approximate position shown in Figure 1.
4. Push indenter into ram until indenter snaps into
position.
5. Return ram to the down position.
3. Activate tool so that ram advances and holds
terminal or splice in place but DOES NOT deform
wire barrel.
4. Insert stripped wire into terminal until end of
conductor is flush with or extended slightly beyond
end of wire barrel. See Figure 2.
5. Refer to Paragraph 5.1, Crimp Inspection, for
terminal crimp inspection procedure.
NOTE
i
If terminal sticks in die after crimping, grasp wire
close to crimp and apply a rocking motion to
remove from die.
6. Refer to Paragraph 5.1, Crimp Inspection, for
terminal crimp inspection procedure.
6. Close yoke and insert latch pin.
3.2. Die Removal
1. Remove latch pin and open yoke.
2. Insert blade of screwdriver under nest and pry
nest out of yoke.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
DANGER
Disconnect power supply before performing
maintenance, adjustments, inspections, and
repairs.
3. Raise ram to full up position.
4. Insert blade of screwdriver under nest and pry
indenter out of ram.
4. WIRE STRIPPING AND CRIMPING PROCEDURE
DANGER
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. Exercise extreme
caution when operating crimping head and
holding terminals or wire near the crimping area.
These instructions have been approved by
Tyco Electronics Design, Production, and Quality Con-
trol Engineers to provide documented maintenance and
inspection procedures. Through Tyco Electronics Test
Laboratories and the inspection of production assem-
bly, the procedures described herein have been
established to ensure quality and reliability of the crimp-
ing die assemblies. Customer–replaceable parts are
listed in Figure 1. A complete inventory should be
stocked and controlled to prevent lost time when
replacement of parts is necessary.
