Crimping As Instructed - This Is How It's Done

If you want durable crimp connections, you can't afford to make mistakes. For real quality crimp, you need craftsmanship, coordinated tools, and matching wire-end ferrules. There are also international standards and regulations that set out criteria for a perfect crimp connection. These include DIN EN 60352-2, which also describes the advantages of crimping, how to achieve the necessary tensile strength, and how to avoid
typical mistakes. 

Do's And Don'ts In Crimping

There are many things you can do wrong when crimping. It starts with the cutting of the conductor. A clean, right angled, and above all crush-free cut is the best basis for the crimping process. Then remove a piece of the conductor insulation - without damaging the conductor. How much insulation to remove depends on the terminal or contact used. After stripping the insulation, a suitable contact or wire-end ferrule can be crimped onto the end of the cable.

Super Individual: PZ 6 ROTO ADJ

Simply efficient and comfortable crimping

Not much time for crimping and not much space in the tool cabinet? To ensure you achieve the best crimping results even under such conditions, Weidmuller have now added a world first to the PZ 6 ROTO crimping tool family. The PZ 6 ROTO ADJ is the first crimping tool with a rotating die and adjustable handle width. It reliably crimps wire-end ferrules with a cross-section of 0.14 to 6 mm² and can be optimally adapted to your individual preferences. If the cross-section range is limited to 2.5 mm², this reduces the grip width by 20%. In this setting, around 90% of all crimping operations can be carried out efficiently and ergonomically.
