2. DESCRIPTION
The die assembly consists of two stationary dies and
two moving dies. The moving dies feature a
spring--loaded locator mounted on a block which aids
in positioning the terminal in the dies. Each die
contains a pin--key which is used for insulation crimp
adjustment. When mated, the dies form crimping
chambers which crimp the terminal wire barrel and
insulation barrel simultaneously. Each die is held in
the crimping head by a single setscrew. See Figure 1.

The dies are color coded to match the terminal
insulation color. Observe the embossed wire size that
appears on both sides of the wire barrel of finished
crimps to ensure that it agrees with the wire size
stamped on the terminal tongue.

1. INTRODUCTION
Tyco Electronics Crimping Die Assemblies 47378--1,
48756--1, and 48757--1 are designed to be used with
Tyco Electronics Crimping Heads. The heads are
used in Tyco Electronics electric hydraulic pumps,
foot or hand pumps, or battery--powered pumps. The
die assemblies crimp AMPLI--BOND* Terminals and
PLASTI--GRIP* Terminals onto wire sizes 1/0 or 2/0
AWG with an insulation diameter of 17.37--18.72 mm
[.684--.737 in.].
1. Refer to Figure 2 and select the appropriate die
assembly for the wire size and terminal being
used.
When a tight insulation support is required for
PLASTI -GRIP terminals, use the standard
expansion type die assembly.
NOTE
i
This instruction sheet describes crimping procedures,
insulation crimp adjustments, and maintenance and
inspection. For information on tool setup and
operation, refer to the instructions packaged with the
crimping head, power unit, or hydraulic pump:
2. Install the die assembly according to the
instructions packaged with the crimping head.
3. Strip the wire according to the dimensions
