Amphenol Communication Solutions Crimping Hand Tools are expertly designed for applications in the prototyping phase or small production quantities. These professional-grade tools are engineered for precision and efficiency, enabling reliable and consistent results. The hand tools feature a mechanism that opens automatically after making the last advance of the ratchet. This mechanism also ensures the connector is crimped correctly and prevents over-crimping, which can damage the connector and affect performance. An ergonomic handle provides an optimal grip for comfort, including for long periods of use. The handle also lowers the risk of hand fatigue while increasing the accuracy of the crimping process.
Amphenol Communication Solutions Crimping Hand Tools are constructed from high-quality materials to withstand the demands of regular use in a professional setting. The brands included in the lineup include ComboLock®, Cross-Mate™, Dubox®, MicroSpace™, Minitek®, PV®, and WireLock®.
Also available is a semi-automatic crimping machine for use with the FCI Basics range of hand tools. Users simply undo the two screws on the adapter, mount the head of the manual tool in the appropriate seat, and reassemble the two screws. This crimping machine is designed for applications in the prototyping phase and for small production quantities.
