Harting Ratchet Crimping Tool, Crimp Contact, Minimum 0.14mm², Maximum 4mm²

This hand crimp tool is capable of crimping male and female contacts from 0.14 mm to 4 mm and has a ratchet mechanism incorporated into the device that prevents premature opening before the completion of a crimp, ensuring consistent crimping quality.

• Designed to operate on Harting Han D, Han E, Han C and Han-Yellock series crimp contacts

Han D®: 0.14 ... 1.5 mm²

Han E®: 0.5 ... 4 mm²

Han-Yellock®: 0.5 ... 4 mm²

Han®C: 1.5 ... 4 mm²

The locator guarantees that the crimp contact is terminated in the proper position. The multi-functional locator has markings which indicate the Han contact type.

What is the difference between un-insulated and insulated crimp tools?

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

• Axles and other movable parts should be regularly lubricated.

• Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to contaminants.

• Adjustment of the crimping die nests should also be checked. Readjustment of the pressure adjustment axle is necessary when the pre-load of the tool decreases significantly.

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.
