Automatic Crimp Tool, Pneumatically Actuated
This fast cycling automatic crimp tool produces a four double-indent crimp on a wide variety of wire sizes. Contacts must be ordered on reels. Foot control valve is supplied as a standard accessory. Crimp machines are available for signal and power contacts.
Contact Reels for Automatic Pneumatic Crimp Tools
Contacts may be supplied in plastic carriers, packaged in reels holding 2,000 or 1,000 contacts for use with the automatic pneumatic crimp tools. The same type carrier is used for both male and female contacts.
Most male and female crimp contacts can be ordered in reels by adding the letter "R" after the contact part number, such as MC6020DR for a male contact and FC6026DR for a female contact.
Cycle-Controlled Hand Crimp Tools
Most hand crimp tools are adjustable and produce a four double-indent crimp configuration.
Four double-indent crimping requires an interchangeable positioner component. Each positioner is equipped with a data plate that gives the recommended crimp depth setting for most wire sizes.
Some contacts require a hex-shaped crimp, for which special tools are available.
Insertion and Removal Tools
Insertion tools are used for insertion of contacts into the rear of the connector.
Removal tools are used to allow the extraction of removable contacts from the connector.
Press-fit Tools
Various insertion tools are available, which are used with customers' press equipment to insert press-fit connectors into printed circuit boards.
Some connectors also require a support tool placed beneath the PC board. Positronic press-fit tool technology exerts force on individual contacts, rather than just on the insulator.
