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
specification:

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:
