Crimping pliers for coaxial, BNC and TNC connectors, RG 58 to RG 223, two-hand operation, 250 mm - Knipex 97 52 10

On coaxial connectors the crimping force decides shielding and reflection behaviour, and a loose fit renders the line useless. Crimping pliers 97 52 10 press coaxial, BNC and TNC connectors using three nests with crimp widths of 5.4 mm, 6.48 mm and 1.72 mm, and the crimping pressure is calibrated at the factory.

Benefits

• Three nests at 5.4 mm, 6.48 mm and 1.72 mm cover the outer ferrule, the intermediate size and the centre pin, so no change of tool is needed.
• Laid out for cable types RG 58, 59, 62, 71 and 223, which covers the common coaxial range.
• Lever transmission reduces hand force by up to 30 percent compared with regular crimping pliers.
• Precision dies and an unlockable ratchet keep crimping quality constant across a whole series.
• Crimping pressure is set and calibrated at the factory, so nothing has to be readjusted.
• A balanced centre of gravity, an angled head and non-slip plastic grips give a firm hold at 250 mm and 577 g, including in two-hand operation.
