1. INTRODUCTION
The crimping dies listed on this instruction sheet are recommended for crimping the PIDG and PLASTI-GRIP
tape-mounted terminals and splices indicated in Figure 2. The PIDG terminals and splices are used on
stranded copper wire, and the PLASTI-GRIP terminals and splices are used with solid or stranded copper wire.
The dies are designed to be used in AMP-TAPETRONIC* Machine 69875. Refer to Customer Manual
409-1993, packaged with the machine, for information concerning die installation, crimp adjustments, crimping
procedures, and general operation of the machine.
This instruction sheet covers die selection, crimping instructions, and die maintenance and inspection
procedures. Read these instructions thoroughly before crimping any terminals or splices.
NOTE
Measurements are in millimeters [followed by inch equivalents in brackets]. Figures and illustrations are for identification only
and are not drawn to scale.

2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
Each die assembly features two stationary dies (anvils) and two moving dies (crimpers), a saddle, and
attaching hardware. One pair of dies (one anvil and one crimper) forms a crimping chamber for the terminal or
splice wire barrel, and the other pair of dies crimps the insulation barrel.
Each half of the die assembly is secured in the machine by a captive screw. The dies are color coded
according to wire size for easy identification. When the terminal or splice is properly crimped in the correct dies,
one or two dots (depending on wire size) will appear on the top and bottom of the terminal or splice.
