Crimping pliers for wire ferrules insulated VDE, 0.25 - 16.0 mm², tether point, 180 mm - Knipex 97 78 180 T

Working at height, a tool must not drop, and on live installations it must be properly insulated. The 97 78 180 T crimping pliers press wire ferrules to DIN 46228 parts 1 + 4 from 0.25 to 16 mm², are tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 and carry an integrated insulated attachment point for a tool tether.

Benefits

• Integrated insulated tether attachment point for a drop prevention lanyard, with the insulation left intact.
• Nine particularly deep dies with conical side faces cover the range 0.25 - 16.0 mm², which is AWG 24 - 6.
• Crimping in marked half-round dies gives a reliable connection between sleeve and conductor.
• Insulated multi-component sleeves, VDE tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900.
• Light and slim design, 260 g at 180 mm overall length, easy to handle even in a crowded control cabinet.
• Optimised transmission ratio keeps crimping easy and spares the hand over many connections.
