Choosing an Applicator
OCEAN 2.0 Applicator Series
The new OCEAN 2.0 applicator series was designed
With the knowledge and experience of over a half
specifically to exceed the requirements of today and
century designing and manufacturing applicators and
meet the demands of tomorrow.
tooling, TE Connectivity (TE) has taken terminal
crimping to a new level. Using the proven OCEAN
applicator platform as a base, TE has developed the
latest wave in applicator technology...the OCEAN 2.0
Applicator. TE has listened to customer input and
market demands to innovate and improve the popular
OCEAN applicator to be more robust, faster to install/
adjust and even more accurate.
By consolidating our applicator offering to this latest
OCEAN 2.0 applicator platform, TE can provide
design consistency and tooling standardization to the
market. One of the major benefits to the customer is
offering the ultimate in flexibility with a choice of
feeding options; new and improved mechanical and
pneumatic feed options.
The lead and harness industry of today is more price
and quality competitive than ever before. Crimping
standards continue to be raised to higher levels of
quality and repeatability. The industry continues
to expect more from application tooling.
One Applicator Platform – Modular Family Design
- 2 feed options – Mechanical & Pneumatic
- Same feed units can be used on Side-Feed and E
nd-Feed style applicators
- All units can be easily removed and i nterchanged for upgrades if desired
- 2 ram interface styles (“Atlantic” or “Pacific” style)
- Same wire crimper, insulation crimper, and anvil u

Choosing an Applicator
Standard Features on all OCEAN 2.0 Applicators
One of the major design goals of the OCEAN 2.0
applicator series was increased flexibility. By giving the
applicator the ability to flex between different terminator
configurations it allows customers to quickly adapt their
applicators to whatever configuration is needed. All parts
to reconfigure the applicator are included and attachable
to the unit for safe storage and quick access.
As standard equipment the latest applicator will have all
the accessories needed to switch between 30 and 40
mm stroke terminators, pre-feed and post-feed cam
configurations and cut and no-cut carrier options. The
wire stop / wire stripper can also be easily adjusted for
the desired application, and a mechanical counter is
included for tracking cycle counts.
The applicator comes with all parts needed to
configure it to any terminating method that is
acceptable to the application.
• Pre-feed and post-feed cams
• Cut and no-cut carrier options
• Adjustable terminal stripper
• Adjustable spring-loaded terminal hold down
• Mechanical counter
• Fine adjust crimp height mechanisms
OCEAN Applicator Part Number System
Because so many features have been added to the applicator the part numbering system used to identify the
applicators can be simplified significantly. Now, when ordering an applicator the customer will only need to
identify what style and feed type they require.

OCEAN 2.0 Applicator – Redesigned from the Bottom Up
The OCEAN 2.0 applicator series includes several new features to aid in reliability and repeatable
performance. To help prevent misalignment and during installation, the OCEAN 2.0 design includes a
pinned baseplate.
Standardization of adjustment and mounting screws reduces the number of tools needed to install
and/or adjust an applicator. The OCEAN 2.0 line has been designed to reduce the number of unique
tools needed to service, thereby shortening downtime and improving upon TE’s already impressive
quick install rate.

• Low friction of the ram

Effective Crimp Performance
Detachable Lubricator Assembly
It is easy to overlook, but routine greasing can be a factor
in reducing production downtime. Checking tooling –
inspecting crimpers and anvils – before they break also
will support production continuity.
Just as with any machinery, lubrication of the applicator
reduces wear and even protects against corrosion.
Specific use of contact lubricant on terminals prevents
the friction that can lead to sticking in the crimper, bent
terminals, and premature crimper wear.
• Assembly for side feed and end feed versions are
available
• Simple attachment
• Broad wick and variable adjustments for complete
terminal coverage
• Clear composite shell for easy viewing of lubricant
levels

Transporting Applicators Safely
Although applicators are manufactured to withstand the
impact of crimping, crimpers and anvils must not contact
each other. Such contact can scrape the plating or the
crimping surface, causing a friction point. Friction points
can form metal buildup, ultimately causing reject crimps
and even tool breakage.
This problem is easily avoided. Always leave a terminal in
the crimp tooling when moving the applicator from one
location to another. This allows the terminal to receive any
possible contact and protects the tooling.
The collar protects the applicator from unwanted motions
and damages.
