Crimping tool

Crimping tools (hand operated or automatic) are carefully designed to produce with high pressure forming parts a symmetrical connection of the crimping part of the contact and the wire being connected with the minimum increase in size at the connection point. The positioner automatically locates the crimp and wire at the correct point in the tool.

A ratchet in the tool performs 2 functions:

1. It prevents insertion of the crimp into the tool for crimping before the jaws are fully open

2. It prevents the tool being opened before the crimping action is completed

Identical, perfectly formed, connections can be produced using this crimping system.

1. Wire gauge (mm²)

2. Fastening screw for the locator (unscrew on assembly)

3. Release

4. Nameplate with part no. on rear side

5. Adjustment screw

6. Eccentric ratchet plate

7. Marking of the connector series on the locator
