466739-1

Crimpers, Applicators and Presses utilise tools and machines to ensure accurate connections for industrial applications such as automotive, aerospace and electrical wiring systems. The 466739-1 crimping tool is a high-quality device that is widely used in various industrial applications for its precise and reliable operation. This article outlines the application field and working principle of the 466739-1 crimping tool.

The 466739-1 crimping tool is used for crimping electrical connectors onto cables and wire assemblies, such as AMP, Molex and Delphi terminals. The connector is firstly inserted into the 466739-1 crimper and firmly held in place with a retaining clip, ensuring that it is correctly aligned within the crimper. The crimping jaw of the 466739-1 is then brought down and locked in place, producing an exact and reliable electrical connection on the connector.

The 466739-1 can be adjusted to suit different sizes of terminal connectors, various features of the 466739-1 enable this to be done in a quick and efficient manner. The adjustment cams on the side of the tool can be used to select the desired single crimping die from the 3-die sets provided. This allows greater flexibility for the user, as multiple sizes of terminal can be crimped in one set-up. In addition, the rotary switch on the top of the tool can be used to select the desired crimping pressure, allowing the application of softer pressures for more delicate connections, or higher pressures for applications that require greater strain relief.

The 466739-1 is also equipped with a number of safety features, which are designed to protect both the operator and the equipment from any potential harm. These features include an adjustable safety limit switch, an emergency stop button and an anti-rotation stop. The safety limit switch is used to prevent excessive force being applied, thus protecting the terminal from over-crimping. The emergency stop button allows the operator to halt the tool in the event of a malfunction. The anti-rotation stop feature prevents accidental movement of the crimper during operation.

The 466739-1 is a reliable and accurate crimping tool, perfect for a variety of industrial applications. Its adjustable features, safety features and precise operation make it a desirable tool for those in the automotive, aerospace and electrical wiring industries.
