TE Connectivity 408-8959 Instruction Sheet

Hydraulic crimping head

Advertisement

1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers application, inspection and maintenance procedures for Hydraulic Crimping Head
PN 1752868-1 shown in Figure 1.
The crimping head accepts interchangeable die sets for a variety of terminals and splices for large wire sizes -
12 through 350 MCM range. Refer to the instructions packaged with the specific die sets for compatible
products, wire ranges, strip dimensions, and application procedures.
This crimping head is designed for use with Foot Hydraulic Pump PN 1583659-1, Hand Hydraulic Pump PN
1583661-1, or Electric Hydraulic Pumps; PN 1804700-1 (115 VAC) and PN 1804700-2 (220 VAC).
Warning: To avoid personal injury and potential damage to the crimp head, TE Connectivity (TE) requires the
crimp head to operate at 9,800 to 10,200 PSI [676 to 703 bar]. TE recommends using 10,000 PSI [689 bar] TE
Hydraulic Pumps as other manufacturers' pumps may apply insufficient pressure (resulting in an inadequate
crimp) or excessive pressure (resulting in failure of the head). Additionally, the TE pump must be used to
maintain CE certification; if using other manufacturers' pumps, the user is responsible for self-certification.
Read these instructions, and all applicable references before inserting any die set assemblies and crimping any
terminals or splices.
NOTE
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Illustrations and figures are for reference only

    408-8959 2. DESCRIPTION Main components of this crimping head include a “C”-Head, which houses the stationary die, a cylinder which contains the hydraulic chamber, a piston (ram) which holds and controls the moving die, and a quick- disconnect coupling (cylinder half) which mates with the coupling on the hose to release or supply pressure. A dust cap covers the quick-disconnect coupling.
  • Page 3: Crimping Procedure

    Verify hydraulic pressure is released and power supply is disconnected before following inspection and maintenance procedures, unless otherwise specified in the procedure. Each crimping head is assembled and inspected before shipment. TE Connectivity recommends that the crimping head be inspected immediately upon its arrival at the facility of use, and at regularly scheduled intervals to ensure the head has not been damaged during handling and use.
  • Page 4 408-8959 Visual Inspection Refer to Figures 3 and 5; proceed as follows: 1. Inspect the assembled crimping head for nicks, scratches, cracks, and excessive wear, especially where sliding contact occurs. 2. Inspect for cracks particularly at the corners of the “C”-Head and around the top of the cylinder.
