Un-insulated crimp tools are typically ***d for general applications, whereas the insulated crimp tools have been VDE tested up to 1000 V, designed for *** where electrical current is present. How to maintain the product? To maintain a good function and long life: Axles and other movable parts should be regularly lubricated Lubrication* is recomm***ed at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to dirt or other contaminants *Use a light mineral-free oil The Importance of a High-Quality Crimp When a crimping tool is ***d 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.
