For reliable and durable contacts in the connection of wires, auto electricians use special crimping pliers. Sometimes you can find another name for them crimpers. They are able to easily connect any automobile wires to each other using an internal crimping sleeve. This crimp ensures tightness, not allowing air or water to pass through, and, as an addition, protects the conductors from corrosion and oxidation. This ability allows you to preserve, or even extend, the operating time of the electrical system of the vehicle as a whole. Crimp for terminals are widely used in various fields.
Mite Varieties
The main classification is the principle of action. They are divided into pliers and diaphragm devices. If the first type of tick is familiar to us, and due to its ease of use is understandable, then the other models should be dealt with.
The principle of operation of pliers is to press on the wires from both sides. Due to the design of the tool, the wire moves along certain guides in the desired direction. The main advantage of such a device is its versatility and the ability to work even in the most inaccessible places. Also, pliers can help in attaching lugs of different cross-sectional shapes to wires. The only drawback is the limitation in the size of the terminals. Thus, for different species, it is worth purchasing the mites that are necessary in size. But this problem is also solved thanks to the universal device with replaceable cassettes. Such a tool can be purchased in our online store, it will cost an order of magnitude more than ordinary ticks, but you will be the proud owner of a multifunctional crimper for all occasions.
As for diaphragm models, they have the ability to crimp wires from four to six sides. Since the principle is based on circular coverage, the work is carried out efficiently and tightly. The advantage of this tool is that it can be crimped with any sleeve size.
Features of work
Working with such a tool is quite simple and convenient. The sleeve is put on the prepared wires, placed in the pliers, and the master only has to squeeze the handles of the device in order to get a reliable tight contact. Not always beginner masters can cope with this the first time and without unnecessary problems. The process depends on both the terminal material and its thickness. The squeezing force must also be properly foreseen.
When choosing a sleeve, you should pay attention that differences can be not only in shape, and in color of the tip. Manufacturers label them according to the characteristics and parameters for which they are intended. Recommended
