2. DESCRIPTION
Each crimping die assembly consists of a crimper, a nest, a hold-down, a rear locator, and a ferrule locator
assembly (as shown in Figure 1).
NOTE
The rear locator and the ferrule locator assembly maintain the ferrule position during the crimping process. The hold-down
maintains the parallelism of the ferrule during the crimping process. They are supplied pre-assembled to the crimping die.
3. INSTALLING THE DIE ASSEMBLY
For information concerning die installation, removal and general performance of each modular tool holder, refer
to the applicable 408 series instruction sheet packaged with the tool holder (Table 1).
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, always disconnect electrical and air supply from the power unit before installing the die assembly
into the tool holder.
To achieve proper orientation of the dies during installation, ensure that the alignment dots are facing in the
direction of the wire clamp on the modular tool holder (Figure 2).

4. CRIMPING
Strip length and specific crimp information for each terminal being crimped using this die assembly can be
found in the Application Specification referenced in Table 1.
CAUTION
If the tool holder is equipped with a crimp height (fine adjust) adjustment, you can avoid damage to the terminator, modular
tool holder or die assembly by starting at setting A on the crimp disc and incrementally adjusting to the specified crimp height.
If the machine has crimp height/shut height adjustment, refer to the applicable 412 series customer manual for guidance.
1. Insert the properly stripped wire into the ferrule assembly per application specification referenced in
Table 1. Verify that no strands are exposed.
2. Insert the cable lug into the die assembly with the outer ferrule placed on the nest and the shield
placed in the ferrule locator assembly (Figure 3).
3. Close the wire clamp to clamp the wire in place.
4. Cycle the terminator to complete the crimp.
5. Open the wire clamp to remove the crimped assembly from the tooling.

5. INSPECTING THE CRIMP
For crimp inspection information, refer to the 114 series application specification referenced in Table 1 for the
ferrule being crimped.

6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Each die assembly is inspected before shipment. When it arrives at your facility, inspect it immediately to
ensure that it was not damaged during shipping.
6.1. Daily maintenance
Make each operator aware of (and responsible for) the following daily maintenance requirements:
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean, soft brush or soft, lint-free cloth. Do not
use objects that could damage the dies.
When the dies are not in use, store them in a clean, dry area.
6.2. Periodic inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies or be supplied to personnel responsible for the dies. Perform at least one
inspection per month. Base your inspection frequency on the amount of use, ambient working conditions,
operator training and skill, and established company standards. Perform the inspection as follows:
Remove all contaminants with a clean, soft brush or soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use objects that could
damage the dies.
Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped, cracked, worn, or broken areas. If damage or abnormal
wear is evident, replace the dies. Refer to Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
7. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
If the dies are damaged or worn excessively, they must be replaced. Order replacement dies through your TE
representative. You can also order parts by any of the following methods:
Go to TE.com and click the Shop TE link at the top of the page.
Call 800-522-6752.
