2 Crimping Tools for Solderless Electrical Terminals and Ferrules Professional crimping tools for solderless terminals must compress the whole length of the terminal s barrel without damaging the individual strands of the conductor and without breaking the terminal itself. The conductor shall be secured that it shall not be pulled out of the crimped terminal. Some terminals require a double crimping operation. The crimp shape produced by quality tools can vary from a simple indent to a single or double flat mark, or a concentric hexagonal shape. The tool used must match the type of solderless terminal which must be crimped, both in type and in wire gauge. With regards to type, different tools are required for each of the following styles of terminals: insulated solderless terminals; miniature solderless terminals (smaller than 22AWG); power solderless terminals larger than 8AWG (in most cases, uninsulated); Flag solderless insulated terminals; Closed-end connectors; open-barrel uninsulated terminals; All ITC tools are covered by a 12-month parts and labour warranty. Tools for UNINSULATED TERMINALS Ratcheting Industrial-grade crimping tools 22-6AWG Three industrial-grade ratcheting crimping tools covering a wide range of wire gauges. These tools crimp uninsulated terminals from 0.5 to 16 mm 2 (22 to 6AWG) with side entry. Crimp shape is indent. Material: Hardened steel. Plastic-coated handles.

Serration along the profile of the crimp attains the double result of lessening the possibility of conductor pull-out from the crimped ferrule, and of improving contact between the ferrule and most models of existing wire clamps. ITC can provide a variety of ferrule crimping tools, from simple plier-type hand crimpers to heavy-duty and automatic stripping/crimping machines. All tools are covered by a 12-month parts and labour warranty.

7 Professional, Ratcheting Ferrule Crimping Tools Type AE professional, patented ratchet-action ferrule crimping tools feature parallel-action crimping, meaning that the same pressure is applied along the whole length of the ferrule. Front loading makes access to reduced space easier. Single-die operation means that there is no possibility of choosing the wrong slot for crimping a ferrule the tool self-adjusts to the proper section, without variation in crimping pressure. Crimp shape: trapezoidal. Material: tempered steel, burnished. Ergonomic grips in polyurethane compound. Type PEW 8.85 and 8.86 ratchet-action ferrule crimping tools feature square or hexagonal crimping shape, obtained by means of synchronous driven crimp jaws. As a result, the same pressure is applied along the whole length of the ferrule and the shape is ideal for installation in wire clamps (square crimp) or in screw-pressure wire terminals (hexagonal crimp). Side loading on both models, single-die operation (the tool self-adjusts to the proper section, without variation in crimping pressure). Type PEW 8.88 (part No ) is a ratchet-action ferrule crimping tool with front access and square crimp shape. A 2-position lever extends the maximum crimping range (from 28AWG) to a maximum of either 7AWG or 5AWG: the widest crimp range of all our tools! Crimp shapes: see illustrations below.

QUADRO (part No ) performs 4 functions on stranded wires 0.5 to 2.5mm2 (22-14AWG): Cuts the wire; Strips the insulation; Twists the strands; Crimps the ferrule. This tool can cut wires up to 2.5mm2 (~14AWG) (with most common types of insulation). It then strips them precisely and safely, and prepares the stripped end by twisting the bare strands: this enables easy insertion in the ferrule. For the final operation, no adjustment is necessary: ferrules are supplied in strips within quick-change magazines (refillable): one last pressure on the handles performs a quality crimp, and the tool is ready for another cycle. Operation is effortless, and the tool weighs less than 1/2lb. Quadro is approved by TÜV-GS (Germany) and carries the CE mark.
