RS PRO 4300 0.14 To 10 mm² Crimp Tool Crimp Tool for Wire End Sleeves

• Ratchet with emergency release to ensure that crimps are completed according to specification

• Well balanced so that the tool does not slip out of the hand

• Low handle force for larger ferrule sizes

• Choice of square or hexagonal crimp finishes

• Wire range: 0.14 mm² to 10.00 mm²

• Non-slip grip pad for applying pressure against a surface

• Aperture for attaching a safety strap

• RS Pro 122-1790 or RS stock no: 122-1791

• Maintenance & repair

• Electrical Installations

• Cable assemblies

Both versions offer the same specification and performance, the only difference between the two is the crimp profiles. RS stock no 122-1790 produces a square crimp profile and RS stock no: 122-1791 produces a hexagonal crimp profile.

They are very easy to use with either hand, there is no formal training required for this crimper. Simply slide the terminal onto the prepared wired, place into the hole of the crimp and squeeze the handles together, use both hands if required.

• Movable parts should be regularly lubricated.

• Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to contaminants.

*Use a light mineral-free oil

When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and terminal. The other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas-tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there any voids present, then corrosion can occur causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas-tight crimp is produced preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage.
