0638018500

Crimpers, applicators, and presses have been around for decades, helping to simplify manufacturing operations and provide a secure connection for products. A well-rounded understanding of these tools can help decide which one is the most efficient solution for a given task. The 0638018500 is a crimper specifically designed for RF applications, making it an ideal tool for crimping RF connectors. This article will discuss the appliction field and working principle of the 0638018500.

Application Field

The 0638018500 combines durability, reliability, and precision to create a tool specifically designed for RF connection applications. A few of the applications for which it is suited are as follows:

• Wire harness assembly
• Connectors
• Crimping RF adapters
• Crimp lugs
• Backshell assembly
• Terminal placement

As mentioned, the 0638018500 is specifically designed for RF applications. That said, it can also be used in other applications where crimping tools similar to this one are needed. Due to its robust design, it can also be used for heavy-duty industrial applications, such as rail, truck, and aerospace applications.

Working Principle

The 0638018500 is a ratcheting box crimper, which means it has a box-style crimping head and a built-in ratchet mechanism. The crimping head is designed to fit a variety of wire sizes and types, and the ratcheting mechanism ensures that a precise crimp is created every time. The basic operation of the tool is as follows:

1. Insert the wire into the crimping head
2. Squeeze the handles together to close the head onto the wire
3. Pull the lever to activate the ratcheting mechanism
4. The ratchet mechanism ensures the head is closed tightly around the wire
5. Release the lever to open the head
6. The crimp is complete

The ratcheting mechanism of the 0638018500 allows it to be used multiple times with different wire sizes, while still ensuring a secure and reliable crimp connection. The tool is also easy to use and designed with ergonomic handles for user comfort, even when used for extended periods of time.

Conclusion

The 0638018500 is an RF crimper that offers precision engineering, a wide range of compatible wire sizes and types, and easy operation. It is ideal for RF applications, but can also be used for industrial applications where a secure crimp connection is required. Understanding the application field and working principle of the 0638018500 can help decide if it is the right tool for the job.
