1. INTRODUCTION

AMPLIMITE .050 Series Crimper Assembly 856684--1

is designed for use in Manual Arbor Frame Assembly

91085--2 (shown in Figure 1) and is used to crimp

metal backshell assemblies onto AMPLIMITE .050

Series Slimline connectors. These instructions

provide crimper assembly installation, tooling

adjustments, crimping, and maintenance and

inspection. Refer to 408--7777 for details concerning

the operation of the arbor frame assembly.

Read these instructions thoroughly before using the

crimper assembly.

All numerical values in this instruction sheet are

in metric units [with U.S. customary units in

brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters [and

inches]. Figures are not drawn to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 8, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)

The crimper assembly consists of an upper tooling

assembly and a lower tooling assembly.

The upper tooling assembly features a tool mount and

acrimperwithanextensionblock.Thecrimperis

secured to the tool mount which is mounted to the

ram of the arbor frame assembly with the socket head

cap screws supplied with the crimper assembly.

The lower tooling assembly consists of a slide plate, a

toggle clamp, a support block, and a cable clamp

spring. The assembly mates with the base plate of

the arbor frame assembly.

3. INSTALLATION OF CRIMPER ASSEMBLY

To install the crimper assembly, refer to Figure 1, and

proceed as follows:

The frame assembly must be secured to a work

bench to ensure stability during operation.

3.1. Lower Tooling Assembly

1. Remove the tool stop from the slide base of the

arbor frame assembly.

2. Slide the lower tooling assembly into the tracks

of the frame assembly base plate. The cable clamp

spring must be oriented to the left side of the base

plate as shown in Figure 1.

3. Re--install the tool stop, and secure it with the

socket head cap screw.

3.2. Upper Tooling Assembly

1. Remove the upper tool mount (supplied with the

arbor frame assembly) by removing the two socket

head cap screws.

2. Install the tool mount (supplied with the crimper

assembly) to the ram of the arbor frame assembly

and secure it with the socket head cap screws.

3. Position the crimper in the tool mount with the

extension block positioned toward the toggle clamp

as shown in Figure 1. Secure the crimper to the

tool mount with the socket head cap screw.

4. TOOLING ADJUSTMENTS

The following adjustments are required during the

initial setup of the crimper assembly and may also be

required if various cable sizes are used.

4.1. Cable Clamp Springs

The cable clamp springs can be adjusted for various

cable diameters by loosening the cap screw and

re--positioning the cable clamp springs.

4.2. Toggle Clamp

Loosen the locking nut and adjust the nylon screw to

either increase or decrease the locking force onto the

connector. When the toggle clamp is properly

adjusted, re--tighten locking nut.

4.3. Crimp Height

Crimp the connector (refer to Section 5); then,

measure the crimp height of the backshell ferrule. The

crimp height should measure 6.73+0.13 [.265+.005].

If the actual crimp height does not conform to this

dimension, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen the setscrew of the adjustment ring.

Turn the ring CLOCKWISE to increase crimp

height or COUNTERCLOCKWISE to decrease

crimp height.

2. Re--tighten the setscrew.

5. CRIMPING PROCEDURE (See Figure 2)

1. Using the ball handle, slide the lower tooling

assembly out from under ram of arbor frame

assembly.

2. Position the connector assembly between the

locating pins ensuring that the mounting ears of the

connector rest against the locating pins.

3. Position the cable into the cable clamp springs.

4. Clamp the connector using the toggle clamp.

The support block will support the lower metal

backshell of the connector.

5. Slide the lower tooling assembly back against

stop of the arbor frame assembly.

6. To crimp the metal backshell onto the cable,

lower the ram using the tool handle until the

adjustment ring is flush with the top of the arbor

frame assembly.

7. After the connector is properly crimped, move

the ram to the upright position; then slide the lower

tooling assembly out from under the ram. Remove

the connector.

6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection

program be performed periodically to ensure

dependable and uniform terminations. Frequency of

inspection depends on:

1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the

crimper assembly.

2. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and

dirt.

3. The degree of operator skill.

4. Your own established standards.

The crimper assembly is inspected before being

shipped; however, it is recommended that the

assembly be inspected immediately upon its arrival at

your facility to ensure that it has not been damaged

during shipment. Due to the precision design, it is

important that no parts of the crimper assembly be

interchanged except the replacement parts listed in

Figure 3.

6.1. Daily Maintenance

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants

with a clean brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. DO

NOT use objects that could damage the crimper

assembly.

2. Make certain that upper and lower

subassemblies and cable clamp springs are in

place and properly secured.

3. When the assembly is not in use, store it in a

clean, dry area.

6.2. Periodic Inspection

1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film

with a suitable commercial degreaser that will not

affect paint or plastic material.

2. Make certain that all assembly components are

in place. If replacements are necessary, refer to

Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.

3. Inspect crimper assembly for worn, cracked,

chipped, or broken areas. If damage is evident,

return the assembly for evaluation and repair. See

Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.

7. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR

Customer--replaceable parts are listed in Figure 3.

A complete inventory should be stocked and

controlled to prevent lost time when replacement of

parts is necessary. Parts other than those listed

should be replaced by Tyco Electronics to ensure

quality and reliability. Order replacement parts

through your representative, or call 1--800--526--5142,

or send a facsimile of your purchase order to

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