The front guard has been modified to remove the 
guard insert. The front guard works together with the 
applicator guarding to protect the operator. The front 
guard retains its keyed interlock to actuate the guard 
safety switch when closed.

The modified guards on the AMP 5K/40 CE through-
slice terminator will work with side-feed and end-feed 
CE through-splice  applicators.

2.2. Applicator Description 

End-Feed and Side-Feed applicators used with AMP 
5K/40 CE through-splice terminators are two-piece 
applicators consisting of a tool holder and applicator 
base.

The tool holder is secured to the ram of the AMP  

5K’/40 Through-Splice Terminating Machine with two 
screws. The tool holder contains locating pins 

(Figure 4) to facilitate it's location on the terminator 
ram. The locating pins allow an easier tooling 
changeover. 

The wire crimper, insulation crimper, and the front 
shear depressor are located in a pocket in the tool 
holder, and are secured by a crimper bolt. The front 
shear depressor pushes the front floating shear down 
to cut the crimped terminal from the strip. 

The wire crimp is easily adjusted, providing an array of 
different wire crimp sizes. 

NOTE

i

All AMP 5K/40 CE Through-Splice Terminators are 

equipped with a "precision adjust" feature.

The hold-down bracket (see Figure 4) is attached to 
the ram and, with bracket attached, holds the terminal 
in place during the crimping and shearing process.

The applicator's mounting surface is its base plate. 
The base plate attaches to the base of the terminator. 
The anvil, shear tooling and strip guide plates are all 
located on the base plate.

Since the upper tooling is permanently located, the 
lower tooling can be adjusted to the correct position 
and locked (screwed) into place.

End-Feed and Side-Feed Through-Splice Applicators 
can withstand the high crimping pressures required to 
apply terminals to the larger CMA ranges (up to 
approximately 17,000 CMA ). Although these 
applicators accept only certain terminals, they provide 
valuable application flexibility. The design optimizes 
accessibility which aids in more precise wire 
placement, and increased production throughout.
