Idc press hand tool

Another advantage is that wires of different thicknesses and terminals can be mixed in a single housing. It is important to note that when the pin count increases, it is easy to misplace the terminals in the housing.

In order to prevent this, crimp wiring uses different cable colors and stickers with numbers on them called "mark bands" to ensure that the wires are connected correctly. Insert the terminal and cable into the crimp tool and compress the handles. After crimping, put the crimped terminal into the housing to complete the process. A variety of tools are available for crimp termination based on the workload. Connectors and cables are crimped one by one with a special pliers tool.

It is used in conjunction with a dedicated terminal applicator. A fully automatic crimping machine measures the length of the wire, strips the cable jacket, and crimps them. It can crimp thousands of wires within an hour. Finally, there is insulation displacement connection IDC. This is a connection method in which pressure is applied to the connector and cable, and the conductor of the insulated cable is pushed into the U-shaped terminal slit to make contact. IDC was a widespread connection method due to flat cables also known as ribbon cables.

The wires are aligned parallel to each other on the same flat plane, so that many IDC connections can be made at once with a single press. Another feature of IDC is that the you can specify the wires used for each connector. Simple and reliable method for inserting press-fit and splay mounted terminals. Single tool can handle multiple terminal insertion applications. Tools can be installed on almost any type of manual or pneumatic press.
