CAT-HT-396-3232-12

Crimpers, Applicators, Presses

The CAT-HT-396-3232-12 is a highly versatile crimping tool designed for applications that involve small to mid-sized wires. It is a quick and efficient way to create tight electrical connections and reduce the amount of time required for assembling, installing and soldering electrical parts. It is used to crimp both flat and square sections of wire, providing a reliable and secure connection that often surpasses the manufacturers’ minimal tolerance specifications.

Application

The CAT-HT-396-3232-12 is a common crimping tool for medium-to-large sized electrical components including terminals, connectors and lugs. It can create reliable connections for various gauge sizes which makes it suitable for a range of electronic and mechanical applications. This includes automotive, lighting, industrial and commercial wiring, miniaturized circuit boards, military and aerospace projects, and telecommunications.

Features and Benefits

The CAT-HT-396-3232-12 comes in a roughly five to seven inch diameter body which gives it a sturdy yet portable design. Its easy to use handle is convenient for keeping consistent pressure when making multiple crimps, and its interchangeable die sets, handle grip, and adjustable arms allow for various crimping length and size settings, without compromising the accuracy and control of the unit. Additionally, it is designed with a high lever ratio that creates up to thirteen tons of crimping force – allowing for a reliable connection of copper, brass, aluminum, and other metals – making it suitable for projects requiring secure and durable connections.

Working Principle

Before using the CAT-HT-396-3232-12, the user must first select a die set that corresponds to the specific application. After attaching the die set to the handle, the user then inserts the wires into the handles grooves. The adjustable arms are then secured to ensure a snug fit of the wires. By applying pressure to the handle, the jaws of the dies are then forced together and the grooves are under immense pressure. Once the adequate pressure is reached, a successful crimp is created. Due to its interchangeable dies, consistent pressure and high lever ratio, the CAT-HT-396-3232-12 creates easy-to-use and reliable connections.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the CAT-HT-396-3232-12 provides a highly efficient and reliable solution for crimping both square and flat sections of wires. With its adjustable arms, interchangeable dies and high lever ratio, it is a great tool for a range of applications from automotive and aerospace to electrical wiring. Its versatility and reliability make it the ideal solution for ensuring that secure and professional connections are made.
