New crimping tool puts the squeeze on cable assembly costs

Phoenix Contact says that the tool's self-adjusting crimping jaw enables the processing of ferrules in accordance with DIN 46228-1 and -4 and (with special collars) in a cross-section range from 0.25mm to 4mm² as well as TWIN ferrules up to 2 x 1.5mm² without having to make adjustments. In addition, the crimping tool supports a cross-section range from 6mm to 10 mm² and 16 mm². The special square crimping shape is said to deliver the maximum possible contact surfaces and high conductor pull-out values, are are therefore also useful for spring connection technology.
