RS PRO Hand Ratcheting Crimp Tool for Insulated terminals red, blue, yellow, 0.75 → 6mm² Wire

A strong and powerful crimp tool for insulated terminals/connectors with a cable range of 0.75 to 6.0 mm2/AWG 22 to 10. The crimp operation is effortless, take the striped wire and add the terminal of your choice and crimp a symmetrical oval crimp.

Un-insulated crimp tools are typically used for general applications, whereas the insulated crimp tools have been VDE tested up to 1000 V, designed for use where electrical current is present.

When a crimping tool is used 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.
