A wire crimper is a tool specifically used in electrical and wire engineering to clamp and secure wires. The main function of the wire clamp is to connect the wire and the terminal to ensure the firm and safe connection of the wire. In the process of wire installation, repair and maintenance, crimper is often an essential tool.
The specifications and designs of crimping pliers are different, and different types of crimping pliers can be selected according to different uses and requirements. Here are some common clamp specifications and design features:
1. Material: Wire clamp is usually made of high-quality alloy steel material to ensure the strength and durability of the pliers.
2. Head design: There are two common types of head design for crimping pliers: flat head and elbow. The flat head is suitable for simple wire stripping and clamping work, while the elbow is suitable in narrow or difficult
Reach the space to operate.
3. Clamp mouth shape: The clamp mouth of the clamp is usually semicircular or square, which can better grip the wire and ensure that the pinch point is tight and stable.
4. Crimping hole: The clamp mouth of the crimping pliers usually has different specifications of crimping holes to adapt to different specifications of wires. Common wire hole sizes are 12-14 AWg, 16-18AWG and 20-22AWG.
5. Cutting function: Some crimps also have a cutting function, which can be used to cut the insulation layer and wire of the wire. In this way, the need to use other scissors or cutters can be reduced and work efficiency can be improved.
6. Insulated handles: In order to provide better safety and comfort, the handles of some crimpers are designed with insulation. This design effectively prevents current from passing through the handle, reducing the risk of electric shock to electricians.
