SDE Crimping Die Assembly 91963-[ ]
408-8731
5. Insert stripped wire into terminal until wire butts
against locator. Insert stripped wire into splice until
wire butts against the wire stop in splice.
6. Cycle the SDE 1600 Power Unit and hold
momentarily to complete the crimp. The terminal or
splice should be as shown in Figures 5 or 6.
7. Remove the crimped terminal or splice.
8. When crimping a butt splice, reposition the
uncrimped half in the stationary die. If the splice
cannot be turned around, turn the tool around, load
the stripped wire in splice and cycle the power unit.
9. Remove the butt splice.
5. INSULATION CRIMP ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
i
PIDG terminals and splices feature an insulation
grip."
Each tool has four insulation crimp positions. See
Figure 1.
Tyco Electronics recommends an initial frequency of
once a month, however frequency may be adjusted to
suit your requirements through experience.
Frequency should be dependant on:
S Care, amount of handling, and use of the dies;
S Type and size of the product being crimped;
S Degree of operator skill;
S Presence of abnormal amounts of dirt and
dust; and
S Your own established standards.
6.1. Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or a clean, soft, lint–free
cloth. Do NOT use any objects that could damage
the dies or tool.
2. Make sure that the proper die–retaining screws
are properly secured.
3. When the dies are not in use, store them in a
clean, dry area.
4. Store the tool with the tool handles closed to
prevent objects from becoming lodged within the
jaws.
1. Loosen insulation adjustment locking screw (see
top of tool) and turn indicator to Position 4.
2. Place terminal or splice in tool dies.
3. Insert UNSTRIPPED wire into ONLY the
insulation barrel of terminal or splice.
4. Perform a crimp. Remove crimped terminal or
splice and check insulation grip as follows: Bend
the wire back and forth once. Terminal or splice
should retain grip on wire insulation.
6.2. Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or a clean, soft, lint–free
cloth. Do NOT use any objects that could damage
the dies or tool.
2. Make sure that the proper die–retaining screws
are properly secured.
3. When the dies are not in use, store them in a
clean, dry area.
5. If wire pulls out, set insulation adjustment
indicator to next tighter position — Position 3.
6. Perform a crimp and repeat adjustment as
necessary until desired insulation grip is obtained.
Do not use a tighter setting than required.
6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
4. Store the tool with the tool handles closed to
prevent objects from becoming lodged within the
jaws.
6.3. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film
from the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable
commercial degreaser.
Although the dies are inspected at the factory prior to
their shipment, it is recommended that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed at your facility
periodically. This is necessary to assure that
continued use of the dies will result in the same
dependability and uniform terminations for which the
dies were designed.
2. Make certain that all die–retaining screws and
die components are properly secured.
3. Inspect the crimping surfaces for flattened,
chipped, worn, or cracked areas. If damage is
evident, the dies must be replaced. Refer to
Section 7, REPLACEMENT.
