Preforming die stand-off for 4-lead diode bridges Supercut/TS1 - Iteco 181100

Diode bridges have four leads in a row and a box-shaped package that tilts easily during forming. This Supercut/TS1 die is the only tool set in the range that cuts all four wires at once and gives them a stand-off bead, so the package stays square above the board.

Operating benefits

• All four leads are cut and formed in the same stroke, so the package does not tilt
• The stand-off bead keeps the rectifier package above the board, leaving room for heat dissipation and cleaning
• The only tool in the TS1 range for four-lead packages, all other dies work on two or three leads
• Equal wire length on all four leads makes insertion into the holes easier
• Designed for the reinforced cylinders of the Supercut/TS1, which also form thicker rectifier wires

Technical data

Typical applications

• Power supplies and chargers with leaded diode bridge rectifiers
• Assemblies in which the rectifier dissipates heat into the surrounding air
• Preparing equal wire lengths for manual placement
• Small batches with changing rectifier packages

Compatibility and scope of delivery

This die assembly is intended exclusively for the pneumatic cutting and forming machine Supercut/TS1 (Iteco 7915.171). The machine is supplied without a die, so the die has to be ordered separately. Changing to a different lead form takes only a few movements, which lets one machine cover several component shapes. The same form is available as number 161100 for the smaller Supercut/RS4 (Iteco 7915.166) - the two number ranges are not interchangeable. Scope of delivery: one complete die assembly. Made in Italy.
