4.2. Crimping
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 die assemblies.
Operation of Latch Head Battery Powered Crimp Tool 1901343--[ ] consists of:
Avoid personal injury. When operating tool or power unit, exercise caution while holding terminals or wire near the
crimping area.
1. Strip the wire to the dimensions provided for the terminals in TE Instruction Sheets 408--10050
(SOLISTRAND* Terminals and Splices); or 408--10051 (TERMINYL*, AMPOWER*, PLASTI--GRIP*
Terminals and Splices). Do not nick or cut the wire strands.
2. Select the proper color--coded terminal for the wire size. The wire size stamped on the terminal
tongue and on the crimping die must match the wire size selected.
3. Insert stripped wire fully into the terminal wire barrel.
Do NOT turn or twist the wire or terminal during insertion.
4. Pivot the latch arm away from the yoke to open the head.
5. Place the terminal in the stationary die.
6. Holding the terminal in place, pivot the yoke and latch arm toward each other until the locking flange
secures the latch arm to the yoke.
Always make sure the yoke and latch arm are secured by the locking flange before cycling the tool to crimp the
product.
7. Holding the wire in place, activate the tool to complete the crimp.
8. When the crimp is completed, pivot the latch arm away from the yoke to open the head and remove
the terminal.
If the terminal sticks in the die after crimping, apply a rocking action to the terminal to remove it from the die. Wipe
light oil on the dies to prevent sticking, or use spray dry lubricant.
If it is necessary to retract the ram before a crimping cycle is completed, push the release switch. Pushing the release
switch will result in the complete retraction of the ram. Only kits 1901343--1 and --2 have a release switch.
This tool is not designed for continuous operation. After 100 cycles, allow the crimp tool to cool for 15 minutes.
