1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the use and

maintenance of AMP Crimping Die Assemblies

543425--1 and --2, which are used in AMP Hand

Crimping Tool Frame Assembly 543344--1 or

58235--1, or AMP Pneumatic Power Unit 312522--3

equipped with Die Holder Assembly 58449--1. Each

die assembly crimps a ferrule onto round shielded

cable used with AMP Shielded AMPLIMITE

Connectors.

AMP Catalog 82068 provides a guide for

cable--to--connector and ferrule selection. Read these

and all referenced materials before using the die

assemblies.

NOTE

Measurements are in millimeters [followed by

inches in brackets]. Figures are not drawn to

scale.

Reasons for reissue are provided in Section 7,

REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

Each die assembly consists of an indenter (stationary

die) and an anvil (moving die). When mated, the dies

form two crimping sections: the braid and the

insulation. The braid section crimps the front part of

the ferrule onto the cable shield and the cable outlet

of the connector shield assembly, and simultaneously,

the insulation section crimps the back part of the

ferrule onto the cable insulation. See Figure 1.

The ferrule, which is ordered separately from the

AMPLIMITE connector, is sized according to the

insulation diameter of the cable. Each die assembly is

marked with the cable insulation diameter range.

3. DIE INSTALLATION

The die assembly is designed to fit securely into the

tool by upper and lower die holder plates; each die is

held in by a single screw. To install the die assembly,

refer to the instructions packaged with the tool:

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

Assemble the connector by referring to instruction

sheet 408--9010. Make sure the ferrule is over the

connector shield cable outlet and butted against the

shield body. Then, proceed as follows:

1. Place the ferrule on the stationary die, with the

cable extending out the back side of the die. Make

sure that the front part of the ferrule is positioned in

the braid section and the back part of the ferrule is

positioned in the insulation section. See Figure 2.

CAUTION

Connector body must be clear of dies.

2. Actuate tool for crimping according to the

instructions packaged with the tool.

3. Remove connector from die assembly and

inspect the crimped ferrule according to the

requirements outlined in the appropriate application

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTI ON PROCEDURE

The die assembly is inspected prior to shipment,

however , AMP recommends that the die assembly be

inspected immediately upon arrival. AMP

recommends that a maintenance and inspection

program be performed periodically to ensure

continued reliability of the die assembly. The

inspection frequency should be based on the amount

of use, working conditions, operator training and skill,

and established company standards.

5.1. Daily Maintenance

1. Remove accumulated dust, moisture, and other

contaminants with a clean, soft brush or lint--free

cloth. Do NOT use hard or abrasive objects that

could damage the dies.

2. Make sure dies are protected with a THIN coat

of any good SAE No. 20 motor oil. Do NOT oil

excessively.

3. When die assembly is not in use, mate and

store them in a clean, dry area.

5.2. Periodic Inspection

A. Visual Inspection

1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film

from the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable

commercial degreaser that will not affect paint or

plastic material.

2. Make sure that all die retention screws and die

components are properly secured.

3. Inspect die assembly for worn, cracked, or

broken surfaces. If damage is evident, the dies

must be replaced. See Section 6, REPLACEMENT

PARTS.

B. Gaging the Crimping Section

This inspection requires the use of plug gages

conforming to the dimensions provided in Figure 4.

AMP does not manufacture or market these gages.

For each crimping section, proceed as follows:

1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping

section and plug gage.

2. Mate the dies until the crimping surfaces have

bottomed; then hold in this position. DO NOT force

the dies beyond initial contact.

3. Carefully insert GO element into the

corresponding crimping section; do not force it.

The GO element must pass completely through the

crimping section.

4. In the same manner, try to insert the NO--GO

element into the same crimping section. The

NO--GO element may start entry, but must not

pass completely through the crimping section.

If the crimping sections conform to the gage

inspection, they are considered dimensionally correct,

and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of any

good SAE No. 20 motor oil. If not, the die assembly

must be replaced. Refer to Section 6,

REPLACEMENT PARTS.

For additional information concerning the use of a

plug gage, refer to instruction sheet 408--7424.

6. REPLACEMENT PARTS

The parts listed in Figure 5 are customer--

replaceable. A complete inventory can be stocked

and controlled to prevent lost time when replacement

of parts is necessary. Order replacement parts

through your AMP representative, or call

1--800--526--5142, or send a facsimile of your

purchase order to 717--986--7605, or write to:
