CERTI-CRIMP Tooling Options

Choose From 7 Basic CERTI-CRIMP Designs

There are currently seven basic styles of CERTI-CRIMP hand tools. The choice depends on the product being applied and/or your preferred method of application. For example, open barrel contacts typically require straight-action die movement to minimize possible rotation during crimping. Or, if your application requires crimping different sizes of terminals, you may prefer using a single tool with a combination of crimping nests rather than two or three separate tools.

 

Other options include insulation crimp adjustment for different insulation thicknesses; a locator for properly positioning and supporting the terminal or contact in the tool; a wire stop; and color-coding and/or wire size information on the head of the tool or handles.
