Self-adjusting crimping pliers for wire ferrules with lateral access, 0.08 to 16 mm², square crimp, 180 mm - Knipex 97 55 04

Wiring a terminal row means the conductor cross-section changes constantly, and every die change costs time and risks the wrong crimp. These pliers adjust themselves to the required ferrule size and cover 0.08 to 16 mm² in a single die, which corresponds to AWG 28 to 6.

Benefits

• Adjusts automatically to the required ferrule size for precise and quick crimping without changing dies.
• One die for the whole range from 0.08 to 16 mm², with lateral access so over-long ferrules pass right through the tool.
• Square compression, also suitable for all twin ferrules up to 2 x 6 mm² or 2 x AWG 10.
• Unlockable ratchet mechanism for repeatable crimping quality, crimping pressure calibrated at the factory.
• High crimping force from an efficient lever action, narrow handle width and a weight of 459 g.
• Special quality chrome vanadium electric steel, oil-hardened, pliers and head chrome-plated.

Areas of use

Electrical installation, control cabinet and control system building, machine wiring and service work. The narrow handle width and the manageable weight pay off wherever crimping goes on by hand for longer periods and the cross-sections change often.

Standards and conformity

Ferrules are crimped according to DIN 46228 parts 1 + 4. In conjunction with KNIPEX wire ferrules 97 99 330 to 399 the crimp carries UL approval. According to the manufacturer the pliers contain substances of very high concern under REACH, the RoHS directive does not apply.
