Crimping pliers for cable lugs, wire end ferrules and blade terminals
Discover our crimping pliers for cable lugs, wire end ferrules and blade receptacles to make secure electrical connections.
Crimping pliers are tools that are used to make a secure electrical connection. The crimping pliers press two or more metal parts firmly together. This process is known as crimping. Crimping pliers are required for the assembly of cables and plug connections. They consist of two handles and a crimping head, which has the specific shape and size of the connector or contact to be crimped. By pressing the handles together, the crimping insert is pressed onto the metal, creating a secure and reliable electrical connection.
Types of crimping pliers
Depending on the application and type of connector to be connected, there are different types of crimping pliers, which are presented below.
Ratchet crimping pliers
Ratchet crimping pliers are the most commonly used. They have a ratchet mechanism that ensures that the crimping process is carried out completely and correctly. The ratchet function ensures consistent and reliable crimping. In addition, this mechanism allows for multi-stage closing of the pliers while maintaining pressure.
Hydraulic crimping tools
These tools are mainly used in industry. They use hydraulic pressure to ensure a strong and consistent crimp.
Hand crimping pliers
Hand crimping pliers are used for lighter crimping work, as they only have a simple lever action. They are suitable for smaller cables and connectors.
Areas of application for crimping pliers
The use of high quality and suitable crimping pliers is important to ensure a safe and reliable electrical connection. It is equally important to use the right crimping pliers for the respective application and the corresponding connector, as this is the only way to ensure that the connectors are crimped together correctly and hold accordingly.
Crimping pliers for cable lugs
Crimping pliers for cable lugs are equipped with special jaws that are suitable for different types and sizes of cable lugs. The jaws have a specific shape and size that are matched to the respective cable lug. Some crimping pliers are equipped with a quick-change fastener for interchangeable crimping dies in order to be able to crimp different cable lugs.
As there are different types of cable lugs, there are also different crimping pliers for these cable lugs. It is important to select the right tool for the respective cable lug type and size in order to make a secure and reliable connection.
System crimping pliers for interchangeable die inserts/interchangeable heads
System crimping pliers with interchangeable die inserts or interchangeable heads consist of a pliers body that can be used with various interchangeable inserts. This allows different crimp connections to be made. Each die insert has a specific shape and size and is designed for certain types of crimp connections.
Crimping pliers for blade terminals and blade receptacles without insulation
Special crimping pliers for blade terminals and blade receptacles without insulation are available for crimping blade terminals and blade receptacles without insulation, which enable a secure and reliable crimp connection of the metal contacts without affecting the surrounding insulation.
Crimping pliers
Crimpingpliers are equipped with special jaws that enable precise and safe crimping. The shape and size of the jaws are matched to the ferrules. The pliers are often equipped with a ratchet function to ensure even and complete crimping. They are available in various versions, which can differ in terms of capacity, wire cross-section and crimping part.
