Crimp tools for crimp terminals

With a crimping tool for crimp terminals, you ensure a safe and reliable electrical connection between a cable, via the crimp terminal, and a device. A crimp terminal is therefore a conductive component that acts as a secure connector between the cable and the device. Our crimping tools can be used for insulated crimp terminals from 0.5–6.0 mm². WKK supplies tools with or without a release mechanism once the correct pressure is reached. Our range includes various crimping tools suitable for both insulated and non-insulated crimp terminals in different sizes.

Using a crimping tool

Before crimping, make sure that you are using the correct tool for the specific item. Not all crimp terminals are compatible with every crimping tool. It is also important to ensure all components are clean. Always clean the conductors thoroughly with a small brush before assembly to minimize the risk of contact corrosion.

How to use a crimp tool for terminals

Before you start crimping, it is important to ensure that you use the crimp tool for the correct items. Not all crimp terminals are compatible with a crimp tool. Also, it is important to make sure that the components are clean. Before mounting, always clean the conductors thoroughly using a brush. This way, you minimize the risk of contact corrosion. The mounting or crimping of the terminal on the wire works as follows:

Strip the cable about 7 mm. Use a good stripper for a smooth process. Make sure you do not damage the wire. Do not twist the released wires around each other.
After stripping you can mount the terminal on the wire. Make sure to insert the wires deep into the sleeve.
Now use the crimp tool to achieve the required crimping. The crimping ensures that the terminal is securely attached to the wire. Depending on the color of the terminal, you can place the tool in the correct colour.
Check whether the crimping has been successful (the terminal fits well around the wire and is firmly attached to the wire). If necessary, repeat the crimping with the tool.
Ready! You can now use the product for your intended application.

Applications

Crimping tools for crimp terminals are used in various situations, such as:

Connecting electrical wiring in switchboards and distribution panels.
