BU-CRIMPER

Crimpers, Applicators, Presses

A BU-CRIMPER is a tool used for the mechanical conversion of an electrical connection from two cables or wires into one, using a secure, permanent attachment. The BU-CRIMPER successfully joins two metal ends, typically made from copper, steel, or other conductor metal alloys, into one connection, through a process of crimping pressure. The key component of a BU-CRIMPER is its crimping die – the die is inserted into the crimper, resulting in an accurately shaped electrical connection.

BU-CRIMPERS are normally used in the production and assembly of communications cables, structured wiring, and electronic hardware panels. They can also be used as a connector-forming solution in various applications such as wire clustering, data connections, high-voltage wiring, microwave coaxial connectors, and the general fabrication of wiring harnesses.

Working Principle

A BU-CRIMPER uses a defined crimping force to join two metal ends together. The principle is to cause contact between the metal surfaces of the two joining parts by crushing or deforming them with pliers or tools that apply pressure by squeezing. The base material is engineered to withstand the pressure, but the metal alloyed particles will deform and interlock the two metals. The degree of pressure and the length and shape of the joint are all critical to the strength and durability of the connection.

The crimping process is dependent on the material chosen for the joint. Copper coils, for example, are generally crimped using a connector made of stainless steel; steel coils are crimped with nickel-plated copper conductors; smaller cable connectors are usually crimped using thin metal alloys, such as tin, brass, or nickel. Crimping force is usually applied with pneumatic or hydraulic tools, but manual tools are also used where greater accuracy is required.

Application

BU-CRIMPERS are widely used in many markets, including renewable energy, aerospace, medical, automotive, and industrial electronics, as well as in a variety of cable and wiring applications. BU-CRIMPERS are also used to join wires together for LED lighting systems, electrical wiring for motors and machines, and for connecting wires in cable assemblies.

BU-CRIMPERS provide a secure, permanent connection and can be used in place of solder joints for precisely engineered connections in harsh or hazardous environments. Their reliability makes them the ideal choice for a wide range of applications that require high-precision connections.

BU-CRIMPERS are also increasingly used in PCB test and assembly operations, as a method for making secure electrical connections in complex printed circuit boards, with their high-quality crimped connections providing superior current carrying capacity and enhanced reliability. In addition, they offer the benefit of cost-effectiveness, with their ease of use and low-cost tooling reducing labor costs.

Conclusion

The BU-CRIMPER has been used for decades to successfully join two metal surfaces and create a secure, permanent connection. Its reliability and efficiency make it an ideal choice for many electronic assembly and wiring operations where precision is critical. BU-CRIMPERS are easy to use and offer a cost-effective solution that does not compromise on quality.
