1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers the use of Crimping Die
Assemblies listed in Figure 1, which are used to crimp
COPALUM Terminals and Splices and HF--30 Pin and
Socket Contacts. The die assemblies are used in
Crimping Heads 69082, 69099, 1752786--1, and
1752868--1. Refer to instruction sheet packaged with
the crimping head for information concerning die
installation and general performance of the head.

NOTE
i
All dimensions on this document are in metric
units [with U.S. customary units in brackets].
Figures and illustrations are for reference only
and are not drawn to scale.
2. DESCRIPTION
The die assemblies consist of stationary dies (nest)
and moving dies (indenter). Refer to Figure 2A
(COPALUM contacts) or Figure 2B (HF--30 Contacts)
to ensure the compatibility of die assemblies,
crimping heads, and terminals and splices. These
dies are used to crimp COPALUM Terminals and
Splices on No. 8 through 500 MCM stranded or solid,
aluminum or copper{ wire and HF--30 Pin and Socket
Contacts for stranded aluminum and copper wire
sizes specified in Figure 2B.
Dies are coated with preservative to prevent rust and
corrosion. Wipe this preservative away from dies,
particularly from crimping areas.
For further instructions on the hydraulic power unit
and hydraulic crimping heads, refer to the instructions
packaged with these tools.
2.1. Die Installation

pin and socket contact for the wire size being used.
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY; when operating
power unit, exercise caution while holding
terminals or wire near crimping area. Never place
anything within the crimping dies except
COPALUM terminals and splices and HF--30 pin
and socket contacts.
1. Ensure that the wire size stamped on the
terminal corresponds with the size marked on the
dies.
2. Center terminal wire barrel in stationary die.
Terminals may be crimped with tongue facing
either die. (Tyco Electronics recommends the
terminal positioning shown in Figure 3:) (tongue
toward moving die.)
NOTE
3.1. Wire Stripping Procedure
Do NOT nick or cut conductor strands. When
stripping wires for HF--30 Pin and Socket
Contacts, be sure to remove clear plastic
insulation material from conductors prior to
crimping.

3. Activate power unit so that moving die advances
and holds terminal in place. Do NOT deform
terminal wire barrel.
4. Insert stripped wire all the way into terminal wire
barrel. End of wire must be flush with or extend
beyond end of wire barrel as shown in Figure 3,
Detail A. See Figure 3, (Detail D and E), for HF--30
Contacts.
5. Activate power unit to complete crimp.
6. Refer to Figure 5A and Section 4, CRIMP
INSPECTION.
3.3. Crimping Procedure (COPALUM Butt Splice)
1. Position butt splice in stationary die so that end
of splice is flush with sides of dies and view port in
splice is facing stationary die. See Figure 3,
Detail B.
2. Activate power unit so that moving die advances
and holds splice in place. Do NOT deform splice
wire barrel.
3. Insert stripped wire into splice wire barrel until
end of wire butts against wire stop as shown in
Figure 3, Detail B.
NOTE
i
For aluminum--to--aluminum applications, butt
splices will accept the same wire size at either
end. For aluminum--to--copper applications,
however, the size of the copper wire must be
“stepped down” to the next smaller wire size to
compensate for differences in the physical
properties of copper and aluminum. Determine
correct splice wire loading by referring to CMA
range listed in Figure 2. If “stepping down” to a
smaller wire size is not desirable, i.e., if
aluminum--to--copper applications are to be made
using the same size wire at each end of the butt
splice, Tyco Electronics recommends that the
perforated sleeve be removed from inside that
particular end of splice that is to be crimped on
copper wire. When two or more wires are used in
either end of butt splice, combined
cross--sectional area must be within the CMA
range listed for the splice in Figure 2.
4. Activate power unit to complete crimp.
3.4. Crimping Procedure (COPALUM Parallel Splices)
1. Center parallel splice in stationary die as shown
in Figure 3, Detail C.
2. Activate power unit so that moving die advances
and holds splice in place. Do NOT deform the
splice.
3. Insert stripped wires all the way into splice.
Ends of wires must be flush with or extend beyond
ends of splice.
4. Activate power unit to complete the crimp.
NOTE
i
Rev B
If terminal or splice sticks in die after crimping,
apply rocking action to remove from die.
5. Refer to Figure 5A and Section 4, CRIMP
INSPECTION.
3.5. Crimping Procedure (HF- 30 Pin and Socket
Contacts)
1. Ensure the terminal dash number, crimp die
assembly, and wire size agree with table in
Figure 2B prior to crimping.
2. Visually inspect contacts for presence of insert.
See Figure 4.
DANGER
Verify perforated insert is present prior to
crimping contact assembly. Crimp will not
function properly without insert.
3. Center pin or socket contact wire barrel in
stationary die as shown in Figure 3, Detail D & E.
4. Activate power unit so that moving die advances
and holds contact in place. Do NOT deform the
contact wire barrel.
5. Insert properly stripped wires all the way into
contact. Insulation should butt up against contact
wire barrel, see criteria identified in Figure 3,
Detail D.
6. Activate power unit to complete the crimp.
NOTE
i
5. To crimp other half of butt splice, remove and
rotate splice 180_ end--over--end. If splice cannot
be rotated, rotate crimping head. Reposition
uncrimped half in stationary die as described in
Step 1. Insert wire and then crimp the splice.
6. Refer to Figure 5A and Section 4, CRIMP
INSPECTION.
408- 2353
If contact sticks in die after crimping, apply
rocking action to remove from die. Use Tyco
Electronics Lubricant (pat number 168433--1) to
prevent sticking of HF--30 contacts in crimping
dies. Apply a thin coat to die surfaces
periodically. Do NOT lubricate excessively.
Remove excess lubricant from surface as
required. Lubricant transferred from the crimp
area onto certain terminations may affect the
electrical characteristics of an application.
7. Refer to Figure 5B and Section 4, CRIMP
INSPECTION.

5. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
DANGER
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY; exercise extreme
caution when using power unit. Avoid depressing
foot switch or trigger control when installing or
removing die assemblies.
Customer--replaceable parts are listed in Figure 9.
A complete inventory should be stocked and
controlled to prevent lost time when replacement of
parts is necessary.
408- 2353
2. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped,
cracked, worn, or broken areas. If damage is
evident, the dies must be replaced or repaired.
Examples of possible damaged die closure
surfaces are shown in Figure 6. If desired, you
may return them to Tyco Electronics for evaluation
and repair (see Section 6, REPAIR).
Pitted
Crimping Die Assemblies are inspected before
shipment. Tyco Electronics recommends that the die
assembly be inspected immediately upon arrival at
your facility to ensure that it has not been damaged
during shipment.
5.1. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be
made aware of -- and responsible for -- the following
three steps of daily maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. Do
NOT use objects that could damage the dies.
Broken Corner
2. Make certain the dies are protected with a THIN
coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. DO NOT OIL
EXCESSIVELY.
NOTE
i
Wipe excess oil from tool, particularly from
crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping
area onto certain terminations may affect the
electrical characteristics of an application.
3. When the dies are not in use, mate them and
store the tool in a clean, dry area.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. Though
recommendations call for at least one inspection a
month, frequency of inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
dies.
2. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt.
B. Gaging the Crimping Chamber
This inspection requires the use of a plug gage
conforming to the diameters provided in Figure 7.
Tyco Electronics does not manufacture or market
these gages. The following procedure is
recommended for inspecting the die closures.
1. Clean oil or dirt from the die closure areas, and
plug gage elements.
2. Assemble and adjust dies to meet the “gage
dimension” indicated in Figure 8, Detail A.
3. With dies positioned at the “gage dimension,”
inspect the bar crimp closure using the proper plug
gage. Align the GO element of the gage with the
crimping chamber. Push the element straight into
the chamber without using force. The GO element
must pass completely through the crimping
chamber without using force, as shown in Figure 8,
Detail A.
4. Align the NO--GO element with the crimping
chamber and try to insert it straight into the
chamber. The NO--GO element may start entry,
but must not pass through, as shown in Figure 8,
Detail A.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. Your own established standards.
A. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the die assembly in a suitable
commercial degreaser that will not affect paint or
plastic material.
Rev B
Figure 6
5. With dies positioned at “gage dimension,” check
the right and left rectangular crimp closures using
the proper plug gage in the same manner as Steps
4 and 5; see Figure 8, Detail B.

If both the bar crimp and the rectangular crimp
closures meet the plug gage conditions, the closures
may be considered dimensionally correct and should
be lubricated with a thin coat of any good SAE 20
motor oil. If the dies do NOT conform, the dies must
10 of 12
be replaced or repaired before returning them to
service. See Section 6, REPAIR.
For additional information concerning the use of the
plug gage, refer to Instruction Sheet 408--7424.
