Main components of the crimping head are: a yoke
which houses the stationary die and retains the
terminal assembly for crimping, a removable latch pin
which allows pivoting of the yoke on the pivot pin
(typically required for splice terminations), a cylinder
which contains the head’s hydraulic chamber, a piston
(ram) which holds and controls the moving die, and a
quick connect/disconnect coupler which mates with
the coupler on the hose to release or supply pressure.
