TE Connectivity Tetra-Crimp Hand Ratcheting Crimp Tool for PIDG Splices, PIDG Terminals, Plasti-Grip Terminals

TE Connectivity TETRA-CRIMP Hand Crimping Tool. TETRA-CRIMP premium grade hand crimping tool for crimping PIDG and PLASTI-GRIP insulated terminals on to wire. This TETRA-CRIMP premium grade hand crimp tool is designed to high specifications using high-quality materials to produce high-quality consistent terminations with optimal electrical and mechanical performance. Premium grade hand crimping tools require minimum operator skill to produce high quality crimps to specified parameters. Each hand crimp tool incorporates crimping dies, locating and straightening features that enable the terminals crimped by these tools to meet requirements of applicable TEC application (114-) specifications. The TETRA-CRIMP hand crimp tool features multiple colour coded crimping cavities and a terminal locator and wire stop. The whole design of the TETRA-CRIMP hand crimp tool ensures that the dies are bottomed independent of operator technique, fatigue or tool wear ; tear. The crimp tool features a CERTI-CRIMP ratchet which is factory set to stay locked until the handles of the tool are fully closed and the dies are bottomed. This ratchet mechanism ensures that the tool only opens once a complete crimp cycle is achieved preventing partial crimps. This TETRA-CRIMP hand crimping tool also features a ratchet control release which opens the tool if crimps are improperly positioned. The handles of the crimp tool are set to specific pressures to meet different crimp force requirements. Features and Benefits. High specification design using high-quality materials Minimum operator skill required CERTI-CRIMP ratchet control for full crimp cycle assurance Terminal locator and wire stops Colour coded crimping cavities Ergonomically designed handles with pre-set handle force pressures Repairable Life service of over 50000 cycles if maintained. Applications. Typical applications for this TETRA-CRIMP premium grade hand crimping tool include low production runs, prototype work and repairs and any application that requires consistent, high-quality terminations. This TETRA-CRIMP premium grade hand crimp tool is also suitable for use in most military, UL and CSA applications
