The terminal crimping tool is designed to give them a certain shape or create a connection between the connecting structure and the conductor. The result is achieved through precision debugging, which contributes to obtaining high-quality and safe communication of a mechanical and electrical nature. Such equipment is called "crimping pliers" and has a significant number of various modifications that can be used for both amateur and professional use. Currently, many different companies are engaged in the release of these products, so the buyer will be able to choose exactly the type of tool that he needs.
Distinguish between crimping pliers, hydraulic press pliers, as well as crimping machines. Each of the listed tools is intended for use in a specific area of production and construction, however, the tasks performed by them can be summarized in a single list:
1. Crimping of cable connections under conditions of limitedspace. Compact pressing tongs are most often used for such work.
2. Crimping end sleeves.
3. Crimping of copper and aluminum connections of standard type, as well as cable tubular lugs. For these activities, a tool is often used in which it is possible to change the matrices necessary to obtain such links.
4. Crimping of terminals, connectors and lugs of bare and insulated cables.
When choosing crimping pliers, you need to have a clear idea of what you will be using them for. After all, each type of tool is designed for a specific and sometimes specific application.
There are several types of press equipment of this nature:
1. Electro-hydraulic.
2. Hydraulic.
3. Mechanical.
It should also be noted that crimping pliers belong to the latter type of press. This tool is most widely used for crimping connectors in low current systems.
The end sleeve crimping equipment can be either square or trapezoidal. In addition, plastic flanges called sockets can be applied to the sleeve. This is necessary for a simple and reliable insertion of the stranded cable core into the connecting element.
Photovoltaic energy systems are more demanding on the set of tools used. This includes crimping pliers, wrenches and socket wrenches.hex sockets, as well as spare bolts.
Let's consider one of the most common examples - connecting to the local Internet network. To carry out crimping and fastening of connectors, it is necessary to prepare the following tools - twisted pair crimping pliers, "stripping" and testers. First, remove the top braid, about 5 cm from the edge. Then you need to straighten the cable cores and arrange them in the right order. Load the received sequence into the connecting device. Place in pliers and crimp.
