455961-6

The 455916-6 applicator is a specialized industrial device designed to apply a pressure crimp to couplings, terminals, connectors, and other components. It works by exerting a preset pressure along with a preset force on the contact area of the connector or terminal, creating a proper electrical connection between the two parts. The pressure and force levels are adjustable, thereby allowing the user to select a crimp profile that meets their specific application requirements. This type of applicator is particularly useful in applications that require high reliability and repeatability, such as cable harnesses, automotive wiring harnesses, and other types of wire and cable applications.

Crimpers, applicators, and presses of this type are typically constructed from metals such as aluminum and steel, and are used to ensure uniform and reliable connections between components. The 455916-6 applicator features a self-contained and fully adjustable clamping mechanism which can be used to adjust the pressure and force levels to achieve the desired crimp profile. The device features a four-position, external release lever, which allows for easy and accurate operation in tight spaces. The applicator also features a rotating peg that helps ensure that the contact area is properly aligned with the crimp tools and terminals.

The 455916-6 applicator offers several features designed to provide reliable, repeatable results. It has a built-in safety catch which prevents accidental operation, and a reset button which allows for quick and easy re-calibration of the pressure and force settings. The applicator is designed to be mountable, allowing it to be secured to a workbench or other surface for easy access. It also features a spring-loaded finger which helps ensure that the proper contact area is reached in order to apply the correct crimp profile.

When used properly, the 455916-6 applicator is an effective tool for creating properly crimped electrical connections. It offers accurate and repeatable performance, and its adjustable pressure and force settings allow for tailored crimp profiles depending on the application. The device’s compact size and easy-to-use features make it an excellent choice for electronic and electrical wiring projects.
