CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are
top-of-the-line, premium, hand-
operated tools for crimping a
broad array of terminals, contacts
and special wiring devices available
from TE Connectivity. They are
designed to exacting specifications to
produce consistent, high-quality termi-
nations. A potential service life of over
50,000 cycles is possible, depending on
operator care.
There are currently seven basic styles of
CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools. The choice
depends on the product being applied and/or
your preferred method of application. For
example, open barrel contacts typically require
straight-action die movement to minimize possi-
ble rotation during crimping. Or, if your application
requires crimping different sizes of terminals, you
may prefer using a single tool with a combination of
crimping nests, rather than two or three separate
tools.
Other options include insulation crimp adjustment for different insulation
thicknesses, a locator for properly positioning and supporting the terminal or
contact in the tool, a wire stop, and color coding and/or wire size information
on the head of the tool or on the handles.
All CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools feature the reliable ratchet control. The ratchet
will not release until the handles are fully closed and the dies bottomed. This
helps eliminate partial crimps.
CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are well suited for low production runs, prototype
work, and repairs—almost any application requiring consistent, highly-reliable
terminations. CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are designed to meet all feature
requirements listed on applicable TE Application Specifications. (Check
appropriate product catalogs for qualification to military specifications, UL
recognition and CSA certification.)
• Produced under a Quality
management System certi-
fied to ISO 9001.
(A copy of
the certifiate is available upon
request.)
