Crimping pliers for insulated and uninsulated wire end ferrules, 0.25 to 6 mm², 250 mm - Knipex 97 52 08

Ferrules have to be crimped evenly, otherwise the terminal connection works loose in service. The 97 52 08 crimping pliers handle 0.25 - 6 mm² in 5 nests with factory calibrated crimping pressure and a ratchet mechanism.

Benefits

• Up to 30% less hand force than with regular crimping pliers because the lever transmission builds up the pressing force.
• Consistent crimping quality from precision dies and a ratchet mechanism that can be unlocked when needed.
• Crimping pressure precisely set and calibrated at the factory, no adjustment on the tool is required.
• Two-hand operation for large conductor cross-sections, here up to 6 mm².
• Balanced centre of gravity, angled head and shaped handles at 565 g and 250 mm length.
• Fixed crimping die with 5 nests, so there is nothing to search for or change.

Applications

Control cabinet and control system assembly, machine wiring and electrical installation, where stranded conductors are fitted with ferrules before entering a terminal.
