1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the use and maintenance

of Crimping Die Assemblies 1583015-1, -2, -3, and

1583016-1, which are designed to be used in Hand

Crimping Tool Frame Assembly 543344-1 or 58235-1,

or in Pneumatic Power Unit 312522-3 equipped with

Die Holder Assembly 58449-1. Each die assembly

crimps a ferrule onto round shielded cable used with

HSSDC2 Connectors.

SUMMARY.

Dimensions are in millimeters [with inches in

brackets]. Figures and illustrations are for

reference only and are not drawn to scale.

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. The anvil die is

designed with a stop to ensure proper positioning of

the ferrule for crimping. 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 ASSEMBLY 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. 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 moving 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.

The front edge of the ferrule must be against the

stop and the connector body must be clear of the

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 to the requirements

outlined in the applicable application specification:

High Speed Serial Data

Connector 2 (HSSDC2)

See Figure 3 for a properly crimped ferrule.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE

The die assembly is inspected prior to shipment,

however, it is recommended that the die assembly be

inspected immediately upon arrival. TE Connectivity

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.
