TO220 die assembly with center lead offset 2.5 mm for Supercut/TS1 - Iteco 182100

A TO220 with three leads in one row leaves the layout little room between the solder joints. Die assembly 182100 moves the center lead 2.5 mm out of that row and trims all three leads at the same time, so the transistor fits a staggered drilling pattern with wider spacing.

Operating features

• Offset of 2.5 mm - the center lead is formed forward to a defined dimension that comes from the die and not from a pair of pliers
• More space between solder joints - the staggered pattern increases clearance and creepage distances between the leads
• Plain offset shape - no locking loop, so the part can still be aligned freely until it is bolted down or soldered
• Forming and trimming in one stroke - the three leads leave the machine formed and cut to equal length
• 2000 components per hour - manual top feed with foot pedal release

Applications

Voltage regulators, power transistors, MOSFETs and rectifiers in TO220 packages on boards with a staggered drilling pattern, in particular where higher voltages appear between the leads and where the transistor is later bolted to a heat sink.

Compatibility and scope of supply

The die assembly works only in the pneumatic Supercut/TS1, which Iteco supplies without tooling under part number 7915.171. On the smaller Supercut/RS4 (7915.166) the same forming shape carries part number 162100. Changing to another forming shape of the range takes only a few moves and the machine stays the same. On request Iteco supplies the machine with a wire holder system and in a three cylinder version with custom dies for special shapes. Supplied as one complete die assembly. Made in Italy.
