Take the cramp out of manual work with this hand-operated crimping tool from Samtec. It makes wiring a breeze by quickly and easily creating a secure connection between your conductor and contact. Simply squeeze the handles until the ratchet releases, then slide the terminal carrier strip under the contact holder plate. Once in place, pop your pre-stripped wire over the terminal crimp barrels, close the handles together, and the job's done.

• In the event of jamming, a release lever easily opens the handles
• Factory calibrated to the optimum pre-load for precision crimping
• For flexibility, it accepts pins directly from a reel or strips approximately six inches in length

To maximise its service life and ensure hassle-free operation, this durable tool benefits from regular, scheduled maintenance. It's a good idea to lubricate it with light oil every 5000 crimps or three months, whichever comes first. Use a clean brush or a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, moisture and other contaminants.
