1. INTRODUCTION
Reasons for revision may be found in Section 8,
REVISION SUMMARY.
“C”--Head Assembly 2031450--1 is designed to accept
any TE shoulder--type SDE (Standard Die Envelope)
die set. See Figure 1.
The Electro--Hydraulic Hand Tool and crimping dies
must be ordered separately.
For specific die set information (including installation,
wire preparation, crimping procedures, maintenance
and inspection procedures, as well as repair and
replacement procedures) refer to the instruction sheet
supplied with the dies. For information concerning the
Electro--Hydraulic Hand Tool, refer to Customer
Manual 409--10095.

2. RECEIVING/INSPECTION
The Electro--Hydraulic Hand Tool Kit 2031400--[ ] and
“C”--Head Assembly 2031450--1 are thoroughly
inspected during and after assembly. Prior to
packaging and shipping, a final series of tests and
inspections are made to ensure proper function of the
tooling. The following inspection should be performed
as a safeguard against potential problems generated
in transit.
1. In a well--lighted area, carefully unpack the
tool and inspect each component as it is
removed from the packaging.
2. Thoroughly inspect each component for
evidence of damage that may have occurred in
transit. If any of the components are damaged,
file a claim against the carrier and notify TE
immediately.

3.2. Installation/Removal of the Shoulder- Type SDE
Dies (Figure 2 )
Be sure to keep this instruction sheet,
the manual for the electro--hydraulic
hand tool, and all drawings with the tool
for the benefit of operation and
maintenance personnel.
CAUTION
The Electro--Hydraulic tool and “C”--Head assembly
should be inspected at regularly scheduled intervals,
depending on care, degree of operator skill, the type
and size of product being crimped, and environmental
conditions.
!
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure to exercise
extreme caution when handling the
Electro--Hydraulic Hand Tool. Remove the power
source (and release the hydraulic pressure if
applicable - - see 409--10095) before installing or
removing the dies.
CAUTION
Be sure to use ONLY TE shoulder--type crimping
dies. Although equipped with the required holes
for pin--type dies, the use of such dies will result
in failure. Use Closed--Head Assembly
2031460--1 for pin--type dies.
3. INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
CAUTION
!
DANGER
Do not operate the Electro--Hydraulic Hand Tool
without the head and dies installed. Repeated
operation in this manner may result in damage to
the Electro--Hydraulic Hand Tool.
To avoid personal injury, be sure to exercise
extreme caution when handling the
Electro--Hydraulic Hand Tool. Remove the power
source (and release the hydraulic pressure, if
applicable - - see 409--10095) before installing or
removing the “C”--Head Assembly or dies.
These instructions are meant to be used as an
example only. For specific instructions, refer to
the instructions packaged with the dies.
!
A. Installation of Dies
3.1. Installation/Removal of the Crimping Head
Assembly
1. Remove the two die retaining screws and
bushing from the crimp head.
2. Place the upper die in the upper jaw of the
tool head so that the largest indenter or
terminal cavity is facing toward the throat of
the “C” head (see Figure 2).
Refer to the Electro--Hydraulic hand tool manual
(409--10095) for instructions on installing and
removing the “C”--Head.

3. Insert the die retaining screw through the
upper jaw and through the die. Tighten the
screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do
NOT tighten the screw completely at this time.
See Figure 2.
4. Place the lower die in the moving jaw of the
crimp head so that the largest anvil is also
facing toward the throat of the “C” head.
5. Slide the bushing over the die retaining
screw and insert the die retaining screw
through the lower jaw and through the die.
Tighten the screw just enough to hold the die in
place. Do NOT tighten the screw completely at
this time.
6. Release the lower jaw by pressing the
terminal grip thumb--button to close the crimp
jaws and fully seat the dies together. See
Figure 2.
7. When the anvils and indenters are aligned,
tighten the retaining screws.
B. Removal of Dies
1. Remove the die retaining screws and bushing.
2. Lift the dies out of the “C”--Head Assembly.
4. OPERATION
The following procedure provides only general
information concerning crimping. Refer to the
instructions packaged with the dies for detailed
information, including wire stripping dimensions and
instructions for positioning terminals and splices in the
dies.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, keep fingers clear of the
crimping area.
NOTE
i
5. Remove the terminated wire.
NOTE
i
To abort a crimp,press the pressure release
device on the power tool. Information on the
pressure release device is contained in
409--10095, Section 6, PRESSURE
RELEASE/RESET TOOL.
5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS remove the
power source (and release hydraulic pressure if
applicable - - see 409--10095) from the tool
BEFORE performing any maintenance to the
tool.
5.1. Daily Maintenance
Perform the following maintenance on a daily basis:
S Inspect the dies for wear or damage such as
cracks, gouges or chips. If damage is found,
replace the die set.
S Clean the tooling, removing accumulations of
dirt and grease -- particularly in areas where
contacts are crimped. Wipe clean with a
lint--free cloth.
5.2. Yearly Maintenance
Once a year or every 10,000 cycles (whichever
comes first) return the “C”--Head Assembly crimp
head to TE for inspection.
6. RETURN/REPAIR
DANGER
To produce a crimp with TE SDE shoulder--type dies
in a “C”--Head Assembly using the Electro--Hydraulic
Hand Tool:
It is not necessary to continue to hold the tool
trigger in order to retract the tooling. The tooling
will retract automatically.
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS remove the
power source (and release hydraulic pressure, if
applicable - - see 409--10095) from the tool
BEFORE performing any maintenance on repair
to the tool.
1. Insert the contact into the appropriate die cavity.
2. Press the terminal grip thumb button (Figure 2)
to advance the lower tooling and hold the contact
in place. Do not deform the terminal insulation or
wire barrel.
3. Place a pre--stripped wire in the barrel of the
contact.
4. Squeeze the trigger until the jaws release -indicating the crimp is complete. Then release the
trigger.
