Knipex 97 49 18 Capacity 6/10/16 sq mm Crimping Die for Twin Wire Ferrules

Knipex 97 49 18 Capacity 6/10/16 sq mm Crimping Die for Twin Wire FerrulesThis durable crimping die is typically made up of high quality material ensuring strength and longevity. This crimping die is a specialized tool used in electrical and mechanical applications to create secure and reliable connections between wires, cables, or other conductive materials. It is designed to shape and compress the connector or terminal onto the wire, ensuring a strong and durable bond. The crimping die consists of a plate or die set with specific profiles or patterns that match the shape of the connector or terminal being used. These profiles may vary depending on the type and size of the connection required. The die is typically mounted on a crimping tool or press, which provides the necessary force to deform the connector and wire. When crimping, the wire is inserted into the appropriate cavity of the die, and the tool is activated to compress the die onto the connector. This action causes the metal of the connector to deform and grip the wire tightly, creating a gas-tight, low-resistance connection. Crimping offers advantages over alternative methods such as soldering, including faster installation, reduced risk of heat damage and improved mechanical strength. Crimping dies are commonly used in industries such as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, and electronics manufacturing. They come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different wire gauges and connector types.
