CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are
top-of-the-line, premium, hand-
operated tools for crimping a
Fast Facts
• Designed to exacting
specifications
broad array of terminals, contacts
and special wiring devices available
from TE Connectivity. They are
designed to exacting specifications to
produce consistent, high-quality termi-
nations. A potential service life of over
50,000 cycles is possible, depending on
operator care.
• Ratchet control provides
complete crimping cycle
• For most military, UL and
CSA applications
• Manufactured using the
highest quality materials
There are currently seven basic styles of
CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools. The choice
• Requires minimum skill
• Repairable
depends on the product being applied and/or
your preferred method of application. For
example, open barrel contacts typically require
straight-action die movement to minimize possi-
ble rotation during crimping. Or, if your application
requires crimping different sizes of terminals, you
may prefer using a single tool with a combination of
crimping nests, rather than two or three separate
tools.
• Calibrated; recalibration
recommended every 6
months or 5,000 cycles
• Many SAHT and DAHT
crimping heads, and many
die sets, can be adapted for
use with the 626 Pneumatic
Tool System (Request Catalog
124208)
Other options include insulation crimp adjustment for different insulation
thicknesses, a locator for properly positioning and supporting the terminal or
contact in the tool, a wire stop, and color coding and/or wire size information
on the head of the tool or on the handles.
• Produced under a Quality
management System certi-
fied to ISO 9001. (A copy of
the certifiate is available upon
request.)
All CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools feature the reliable ratchet control. The ratchet
will not release until the handles are fully closed and the dies bottomed. This
helps eliminate partial crimps.
CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are well suited for low production runs, prototype
work, and repairs—almost any application requiring consistent, highly-reliable
terminations. CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are designed to meet all feature
requirements listed on applicable TE Application Specifications. (Check
appropriate product catalogs for qualification to military specifications, UL
recognition and CSA certification.)
