4. QUALIFICATIONS
Most, but not all, PIDG terminals, splices, and end caps are Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) in
File E13288 and Certified by CSA International in File LR7189.
To determine whether a terminal, splice, or end cap (identified by part number) meets the requirements of an agency,
contact PRODUCT INFORMATION at the number at the bottom of page 1.
5. TOOLING
Hand tools for manual application of loose piece terminals, splices, or end caps, and automatic and
semi--automatic machines for power assisted application of tape--mounted terminals, splices, or end caps are
available to cover the full wire size range. Tooling part numbers and instructional material packaged with the
tooling are shown in Figure 10.
Selection of tooling will depend on the terminal, splice, or end cap requirements such as quantity of terminations,
operator training and skill, and the available support equipment (electrical, pneumatic, etc.) in the work area. Modified
designs and additional tooling concepts may be available to meet other production requirements. For additional
information, contact one of the service groups at the bottom of page 1.
5.1. Hand Tools
Hand tools consisting of a handle assembly with integral fixed jaws or dies and hand tools that accept various
die assemblies are available for loose piece terminals, splices, or end caps. Both types feature a ratchet to
ensure full crimping pressure is applied to the terminal, splice, or end cap.
5.2. Die Assemblies
Die assemblies are precision tools that form the wire barrel of the terminal, splice, or end cap onto the
conductor(s) of the wire and form the optimum crimp height. The die assemblies consist of stationary and
movable dies that are designed for a specific wire size and terminal, splice, or end cap.
A. Loose Piece Terminal, Splice, or End Cap
These die assemblies can be used in either manual or power assist tools.
B. Tape- Mounted Terminal, Splice, or End Cap
These die assemblies are designed for use in applicators installed in power units.
5.3. Applicators
Applicators are used in power units for large production applications. They feature an automatic feed
mechanism, adjustable crimp height pads, and precision crimping dies. They have been designed to simplify
tooling changes and avoid unnecessary duplication of power units.
5.4. 626 Pneumatic Tooling System
This pneumatically operated tooling system will crimp the full wire size range of the terminal, splice, or end cap.
The system is a pneumatic power unit available with a logic control for foot pedal operation or without foot
pedal for hand operation. It is designed to accept various types of crimping heads, including those that will
accept die assemblies for loose piece terminals, splices, or end caps.
5.5. Power Units
Power units provide the force needed to operate the applicator .
A. Bench- Mounted
AMP--O--LECTRIC Model “G” terminating machine and AMP--TAPETRONIC machine are designed to
accept hand--fed pre--stripped wires.
B. Floor Standing
The AMPOMATOR CLS IV+ lead--making machine can be set up to automatically cut the wire to length
and terminate it at a high rate of speed.
