91368-1

Crimpers, Applicators and Presses

Crimping is the process of using a specific tool to join two pieces of material together, usually with a mechanical fitting or electrical connector. 91368-1 is a type of crimper. This is a special type of tool meant for electrical circuit board construction that works with a variety of connectors, including standard insulation displacement connectors (IDC). The 91368-1 is a closed-barrel, tailor-made tool designed for the precision assembly of a wide array of surface mounted components.

The 91368-1 application field is widely used in the assembly of electronic components. This tool enables a technician to easily and precisely attach electrical components to a circuit board. It utilizes parallel jaw action to press connectors onto the board, resulting in a low-resistance fit that prevents problems during the life of the product.

The working principle of the 91368-1 is fairly straightforward. A characteristic that distinguishes this type of crimper from other crimpers is its closed-barrel design. A closed-barrel design consists of two jaws that retract instead of open, ensuring uniform connector placement and superior electrical conductivity.

When the 91368-1 is in use, the technician locates the appropriate contact and lines it up in the center of the tool. The crimp jaw is then closed to apply the pressure of the connector onto the board. The crimp jaw is then retracted, releasing the cable and leaving the connector crimped in place. The technicians continue crimping other connectors in the same manner.

Crimpers, applicators and presses are used in a variety of settings to reduce the workload of manual assembly processes. The 91368-1 is a tailored tool for precisely attaching electrical components to a circuit board. With its two parallel jaw action, it offers a low-resistance fit with superior electrical conductivity, making it an ideal option for those looking to maximize the efficiency in their production process.
