Die Plugs and Mounting Blocks

Die Plug, 4-Zone

This plug is mounted to the die, and the wires from the thermocouples and heater elements are connected into the screw connections in the base. This ensures that all these wires remain confined to channels inside the die block and cannot be damaged.

Features a metal base and cover, a dust seal around the edge and another underneath to keep oil and die lube out while in use. When the die is stored, the cover can be closed with the spring loaded hinge keeping the connections clean and ready for the next production run.

Die Plug, 1-Zone

This plug is used with the 1-Zone Temperature Controller.
The metal cover with in-built dust seal can be closed tightly when the die is in storage.
These high quality die plugs are essential for reliable die operation.

Mounting Blocks

It is a good practice to attach the Die Plug to the die using a Mounting Block as shown here. It provides a solid, sealed structure to support the plug and makes plugging and unplugging easier.

The Mounting Block provides valuable space to terminate the wires from the thermocouples and heater elements within the die. Without the use of a Mounting Block, it will be necessary to machine a rectangular hole in the die block to hold these wires.

To create even more space, you can use two Mounting Blocks on top of each other as shown.

All Mounting Blocks are 50mm high, machined from non-rusting aluminium.
