ESD electronics diagonal cutter with round head and small bevel, 130 mm - Knipex 77 02 130 ESD

At an ESD protected workstation the hand tool also decides whether a component survives assembly. The 77 02 130 ESD electronics diagonal cutter has electrically dissipative grips and its laser-hardened edges cut medium-hard wire up to 1.5 mm diameter. At 130 mm overall length the cutter weighs only 81 g.

Benefits

• Electrically dissipative handles, so the cutter fits into an EPA built to DIN EN 61 340-5.
• Durable, load-optimised design with a backlash-free box joint, the cutting edges stay accurately aligned over many cuts.
• Slim multi-component grips drawn up towards the head allow fine and comfortable gripping between thumb and index finger.
• Less physical effort thanks to the high transmission ratio, the load-optimised shape gives a more direct feel when working.
• Low-friction double spring for smooth and even opening, the cutter is ready again immediately after every cut.
• Cutting edges additionally laser hardened to about 62 HRC, which keeps them sharp over a long service life.
• The mirror-polished head with a fine oil film protects against rust, no circuit faults caused by flaking chrome particles.
• Round head with a small bevel and a head width of 13 mm, the cut is made close to the component.

Areas of use

Electronics manufacturing and service on electrostatic sensitive devices, board assembly and rework, laboratory, test bay and prototype building. The capacity of 0.3 to 2 mm soft wire covers the usual component leads and hook-up wires.

Standards and conformity

The manufacturer states DIN ISO 9654 for electronics diagonal cutters and DIN EN 61 340-5 for the electrostatic dissipation. According to the manufacturer the tool contains no substances of very high concern under REACH, the RoHS directive does not apply.
