About Crimp Tools
Crimp tools are used to join two pieces of metal by deforming one or both pieces to hold the other. The bend or deformity is called the crimp. In wiring applications, crimp tools are used to attach a terminal or contact to an electrical conductor. Crimping reshapes both the metal barrel and the conductor. As a rule, the creation of a proper crimp is a function of the electrical conductor, the crimp barrel, and the crimp tool. The electrical resistance of the crimp joint should be equal to, or less than, the resistance of an equal section of wire. The mechanical strength of crimped joints varies with the applied deformation.
There are many different types of crimp tools. Examples include cable tie tools, RJ45 crimp tools, hand crimp tools, and compression crimp tools. Cable tie tools are used for tightening the ties around wire and cable bundles. RJ45 crimp tools are designed to crimp and cut the wires of EZ-RJ45 connectors. These crimping tools also work with many RJ-11, RJ-12 and RJ-45 connectors. Hand crimp tool or manual crimp tools are suitable for applications in which weight and space are important considerations. Hand crimping tools can be either manually-driven or power-driven. Compression crimp tools are used to terminate coaxial compression connectors, twisted-pair modular plugs, and jacks.
