2.2 Panel Mounted Connectors Procedure
Panel connectors are supplied fully assembled and ready for direct
mounting to equipment.
2.3 Crimp Termination
It is important to use the recommended Crimp
tool and Die to ensure a satisfactory crimp.
Tools Required:
z
ME series Crimp Die
z
Hand Held Crimping Tool: HT 131-C
z
Cordless Hydraulic 14.4v Crimping
Tool: B 131-C
A hydraulic crimping tool and hexagonal Die set is used to perform a crimp termination.
Selection of the correct crimp die is essential to achieve a reliable result.
As cable conductor sections vary widely, the table below is intended as a guide to appropriate die selection.
Cable tensile test should be performed to ensure the final crimp termination meets the tensile and mv drop
test of a particular specification.
The assembly of the Insulator and Glands is the same as previously described for the set
screw terminations (page 2).
1. Select the appropriate Die set from Table 2/Table 2a (page5/6),
(For example if you are using a 500MCM (240mm2) cable use Die set
ME48).
2. Strip the cable jacket to leave 1.75" (43mm) of conductor exposed.
3. Slide the conductor into the rear of the contact. Take care to ensure
all the wire strands are inside the contact.

threaded post section.
2. Fit your selected terminal or accessory over the
threaded area.
3. Refit the Washer and bolt on to the threaded area
and tighten to a MAXIMUM of 106 - 124
