GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This is an interchangeable die set for use in T&B 15 Ton
tools (TBM15I and BPLT15BSCR), to install T&B
insulation Piercing Splices and Terminals on Magnet
Wire in the 50 to 238 MCM Range.
For certain wire combinations the dies will bottom
(close), while for others, because of the wire ll factor,
the dies will not bottom. In order to produce an acceptable connection, tools should be checked periodically
to ensure they are operating at the proper pressure.
See the tool operating manual for details.
Each die set consists of two halves, (See Figure. 1),
and is designed to readily release the crimped connec-
tor. This is accomplished by the exing of the die nest
which necessitates the nest be located in the frame end
of the tool as shown in Figure. 2.
