Weidmuller Ratchet Crimp Tool has been designed for the precise indent crimping of bootlace wire-end ferrules with and without plastic collars in the cross-section range of 0.5 to 6 mm2. As all other Weidmuller tools, this crimp tool has been designed for professional use with the highest attention to details. Wire end ferrules can be inserted easily from the side and the integrated ratchet mechanism ensures crimping precision. Crimp tools also feature a release option in case of incorrect operation.

Crimp Tool Pull-off figures are as follows:
• 0.25 mm2 = 15 N,
• 0.5 mm2 = 30 N,
• 0.75 mm2 = 30 N,
• 1.0 mm2 = 30 N,
• 1.5 mm2 = 40 N,
• 2.5 mm2 = 50 N,
• 4.0 mm2 = 50 N,
• 6.0 mm2 = 60 N

FAQ’s:
What is the difference between un-insulated and insulated crimp tools?
Un-insulated crimp tools are typically used for general applications, whereas the insulated crimp tools have been VDE tested up to 1000 V, designed for use where electrical current is present.

How do you maintain the product?
• Axles and other movable parts should be regularly lubricated.
• Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to contaminants.
• Adjustment of the crimping die nests should also be checked. Readjustment of the pressure adjustment axle is necessary when the pre-load of the tool decreases significantly.

The Importance of a High-Quality Crimp
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.

Quickly add a connection to your electrical cabling with the help of this crimping tool from Weidmuller. It's designed for handheld operation, so it's easy to carry for use on different job sites. For versatility, you can use the unit to crimp both insulated and uninsulated bootlace wire-end ferrules. An integrated ratchet mechanism helps you to achieve precise joins, while a release option lets you conveniently free the wire in case of incorrect operation. This tool is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably into your hand, reducing fatigue when used for long periods of time.

• Ferrule insertion from the side of the unit for ease of use
• Light weight of 380g makes it easy to handle
• Achieves an airtight crimp to minimise the risk of wire corrosion
• Ensures quick conductor connections as there's no need for soldering

• Electrical installations
• Cable assemblies
• Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance, it's recommended that you lubricate this unit approximately every 10,000 cycles or after it's been exposed to contaminants.
