• TE Connectivity Premium Grade CERTI-CRIMP II Hand Crimping Tool for Micro MATE-N-LOK Contacts. 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 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. TE Premium Grade CERTI-CRIMP II Hand Crimping Tool - Overview. From TE Connectivity, a premium grade hand operated crimping tool designed to high specifications using high-quality materials for producing top quality consistent crimps with optimal electrical and mechanical performance. The premium grade tools are easy to *** and require minimum operator skill to produce high quality crimps to specified parameters. The crimping tool consists of a CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet, a fixed die called a crimper and a movable die called an anvil. A locator and insulation stop **** to position the contact in the tool and limit the distance the stripped wire can be inserted into the contact. To aid identification the wire size information is displayed on the front of the crimp tool. The handles of the crimp tool are set to specific pressures to meet different crimp force requirements. The whole design of this premium handing crimping tool ensures that a complete crimp cycle is achieved regardless of operator fatigue or tool wear and tear. CERTI-CRIMP Ratchet. The CERTI-CRIMP II ratchet is factory set to stay locked until the handles of the tool are fully closed and the dies are bottomed. This prevents partial crimps by ensuring that a full crimping cycle is achieved. The CERTI-CRIMP ratchet also enables the operator to repeatedly produce consistent, high-quality crimps. Insulation Height Adjustment Knob. This CERTI-CRIMP II crimping tool features an insulation height adjustment knob with 4 adjustable heights. This feature is ***d to control the crimp height of the insulation barrel during crimping to take into account different insulation thicknesses. Key Features and Benefits. High specification design using high-quality material Minimum operator skill required CERTI-CRIMP ratchet mechanism guarantees full crimp cycle Locator and insulation stop **** to position the contact Insulation height adjustment knob Ergonomically designed handles with pre-set handle force pressures Fixed crimp dies Wire size information on the head of the tool for easy identification. Applications. This TE Connectivity premium Grade crimping tool is ideal for *** in low production runs, prototype work and repairs and any other application that requires consistent, high-quality terminations. This CERTI-CRIMP premium grade hand crimp tool is also suitable for *** in most military, UL and CSA applications. Questions and Answers. Are Dies Included?
