562669-1

Crimpers, applicators and presses are used in many industries and settings for harnessing something or joining two components together. The 562669-1 accessory is an in-line solderless crimping machine used in electrical and electronics harnessing applications.

Application Field

The 562669-1 is primarily used for small and medium scale harnessing applications, primarily in the automotive industry where its robustness and reliability are of utmost importance. The device is capable of crimping two main types of material, copper and tin. In addition to this, it can also be used to crimp many insulated contacts. The applications are endless, from crimping terminals onto printed circuit boards, creating rack and panel connections, to joining bus bars and the like.

Working Principle

The 562669-1 in-line solderless crimping machine works by clamping a pair of jaws onto the cable that needs crimping. One jaw is stationary and the other is adjustable and allows the user to reach into tight areas and access difficult-to-reach contacts. The jaws have multiple sets of grooves or slots that the user can select to fit onto the various contacts sizes. Once the jaws are in place, the user then applies a controlled pressure from the machine to form the desired crimp. This pressure needs to be accurately controlled as too much pressure can potentially damage the contacts being crimped. Once the contact is firmly crimped, the user can then release the jaws and the crimped contact is now securely held in place.

The 562669-1 is an ideal tool for small to medium scale crimping applications requiring reliable and robust crimping. The adjustable jaws and pressure control mean that the user can easily adjust the crimping head for different contact sizes and apply the right amount of pressure for a secure crimp.
