Electronics mounting pliers for bending wire profiles, jaw length 23.0 mm, 130 mm - Knipex 36 12 130

Before soldering, the leads of a component have to be bent to the grid dimension, and identically on every piece. The 36 12 130 electronics mounting pliers bend the wire profile with jaws of 23.0 mm length and use the handle span of 5.5 mm to set the bend that defines the distance to the board.

Benefits

• For bending and cutting off wire ends on components, one tool for the whole preparation step.
• Bends an arc for the distance to the board, so the component sits cleanly at the right height.
• Robust, load-optimised construction with a backlash-free box type precision joint.
• Side angles carefully rounded, so no sharp, material-damaging edges remain. Gripping surfaces smoothly ground and edges deburred.
• Slim sleeves drawn up towards the head and a low-friction double spring for smooth, even opening.
• The mirror polish with a fine oil film provides good rust protection. No chrome flakes come loose that could cause circuit faults.

Areas of use

Small batch board assembly, repair and rework, laboratory, training and prototyping. It makes sense wherever resistors, diodes and similar leaded components are bent to a repeatable dimension before soldering.
