Crimpers, Applicators, Presses - Accessories

0011212584 is an example of a type of equipment used for crimping, which is a process used to form connections between two conductive elements. Crimpers are used to form electrical terminal connections, to seal or attach cables, to seal conductor cores, or to attach wires to circuit boards. An example of a application field of a crimper is PCB - Printed Circuit Board assembly.

The working principle of a crimper is simple. It is essentially a handheld tool that uses pressure to join two conductive elements together. It consists of a stationary jaw and a moving jaw that is actuated by an internal handle. When the handle is squeezed, the jaws engage and the metal elements are compressed. This compresses the metal within the two elements to form a secure connection that is both electrically and mechanically reliable.

When using a crimper, it is important to select the right size, type and angle of blades for the job. This is because the blades must perfectly fit the conductors so that the pressure applied will be evenly distributed. Incorrectly sized blades will not secure the connection, or may even cause damage to the material being crimped. It is also important to use the correct type and grade of crimping tool for the application, depending on the type of connection being made.

Once the tool has been selected and fitted with the blades, the operator needs to ensure that the current from the circuit board is turned off, and the components to be joined have been properly positioned and securely clamped in place. The crimped connection must then be adequately insulated to prevent electrical shock.

Crimpers are available in different designs depending on the application. The most commonly used type of crimper is the hand-held type. These are typically used on thin-walled tubing and cords, and require manual actuation of the handle. Other types of crimpers include spring-loaded crimpers, which are used for larger components such as wire coils or lugs; die sets, which are used for creating multiple crimped connections in one go; and automated crimpers, which are used for larger and more precise jobs.

To ensure that the connection is secure, it is important to check the crimped result visually. Any visible damage or deformation in the crimp should be corrected or the entire connection should be rechecked and redone. It is also important to periodically inspect the crimping tools to ensure that they are in good working condition and not damaged.

Crimping is an important step in the process of assembling and reworking electronic components, and the use of the right crimping tools is essential to ensure a reliable and secure connection. By following the correct crimping techniques and using the correct tools, users can ensure that their connections are both secure and safe.
