INTRODUCTION Terminating Head 58063–2 is designed to terminate unstripped discrete wire sizes 30 through 20 AWG onto AMPLIMITE HDE–20 all plastic connectors (reference part number 745203–2) and metal shell connectors (reference part number 745492–2). These connectors contain insulation displacement contacts. The head must be used with one of the following power units (for operating procedure, refer to the instructions packaged with the power unit).

Figures are not drawn to scale. Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY. 2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1) Features of the head and their function are as follows: Wire inserter—forces the wire into the slotted beams of the contact. Wire guide—holds the connector properly in relation to the wire. Adjuster (inserter rod)—is a piston for, and regulates the travel of, the wire inserter. Feed slide—automatically advances the connector after each termination. Anti–backup pawl—prevents the connector from moving out of position after it has been advanced by the feed slide. After the head is installed onto the power unit, it serves as a guide and support for the connector during termination. The arrow on the top of the head indicates the direction that the connector will move in the head. The wires are terminated onto the connector using the insulation displacement technique. 3. TERMINATION PROCEDURE Make sure that the connector matches the wire size to be terminated, then refer to Figure 2, and proceed as follows: 1. Align the side of the connector with the side of the head (so that it will move in the direction of the arrow), and slowly slide the connector into the feed channel. Stop when the desired contact position aligns with the wire slot. If the connector cannot be inserted into the head or if the connector is too loose in the head, refer to Paragraph 4.2 for wire guide adjustment. 2. Insert the wire into the wire slot until the wire bottoms on the head. 3. Center the wire in the wire slot, then actuate the power unit until the wire inserter bottoms (the wire inserter will retract, and the connector will advance to the next contact position). NOTE NOTE
