Daniels Manufacturing M22520/2-01 Hand Ratcheting Crimp Tool Frame

DMC AFM8 Miniature Adjustable Crimp Tool. A quality hand crimp tool for crimping circular connector contacts. This handy tool has a cycle controlled precision ratchet which prevents the tool being opened before the crimping action is completed. This feature ensures accurate and consistently high-quality crimps are achieved each time and prevents partial crimps. An 8 indent selector knob on the tool enables the correct crimp setting to be selected and a positioner guide locks the positioner firmly in place. Features and Benefits.

The Importance of a High-Quality Crimp When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and terminal. The other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas-tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there any voids present, then corrosion can occur causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas-tight crimp is produced preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage.
