Crimping pliers for wire ferrules insulated VDE, 0.25 - 16.0 mm², nine dies, 180 mm - Knipex 97 78 180

On terminal strips under voltage the tool has to be insulated and still cover the full range of conductor sizes. The insulated 97 78 180 crimping pliers press wire ferrules to DIN 46228 parts 1 + 4 from 0.25 to 16 mm² in nine marked half-round dies and are tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900.

Benefits

• Insulated handles with multi-component sleeves, VDE tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900.
• 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, and the right die is found without searching.
• Light and slim design, 254 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.
• Polished head stays clean and is easy to wipe down.

Areas of use

Electrical installation, control cabinet and plant construction, service and maintenance. Wherever fine-stranded conductors are fitted with ferrules before they go into a terminal and work on electrical systems calls for an insulated tool.

Standards and conformity

The pliers are tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 for insulated hand tools used for live working. The ferrules crimped follow DIN 46228 parts 1 + 4. According to the manufacturer the tool contains no substances of very high concern under REACH. The RoHS directive does not apply to this product.
