Crimpers, Applicators, Presses

Crimper Applicators and presses are devices that provide a precise, efficient means of electrically connecting and/or mechanically joining electrical contacts or leadframe terminals of electronic components to a substrate. Crimping is the process of applying mechanical force to electrical contacts or leadframes to provide a reliable and secure electrical interconnect. Crimper Applicators and presses are used in many industries, such as automotive, medical, and consumer electronics, due to their ability to quickly and accurately connect multiple components to a substrate.

1385841-1 Application Field and Working Principle

The 1385841-1 crimper applicator is designed for use in applications requiring precise, reliable electrical interconnection between components and a substrate. This device is capable of crimping multiple contacts from a single entry point and offers a synchronized contact and leadframe positioning for quick and efficient electrical connections. It is equipped with an adjustable contact pressure mechanism to ensure consistent, reliable connections.

The working principle of the 1385841-1 crimper applicator is based on the use of a mechanical crimping force in order to provide an electrical connection between the contacts and leadframes of the component and the substrate. The crimping force is applied to the contacts by use of a semiconductor element called a “pin crimp”. The pin crimps are pushed into the contacts using a precise, high force crimp stroke. This force deforms the contacts, securely joining the contacts to the substrate.

The device also employs an adjustable contact pressure mechanism in order to ensure consistent and reliable contact connections. This adjustable feature allows for optimization of contact force by the user to obtain a stronger contact connection.

In order to ensure safety during operation, the 1385841-1 crimper applicator also includes safety features such as a safety cover, a lock switch, and a light emitting diode (LED) indicator which indicates when contact pressure has been adequately applied to the contacts.

With its synchronized contact and leadframe positioning, adjustable contact pressure, and multiple safety features, the 1385841-1 crimper applicator provides a reliable and efficient tool for making reliable electrical interconnections between components and a substrate. It is a useful tool for manufacturers in various industries such as automotive, medical, and consumer electronics.
