Ferrule pliers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Different types of ferrule crimping pliers for wire diameters from 0.5 mm² to 16 mm²

The wire-end ferrule pliers are a tool for pressing wire-end ferrules onto the stripped part of a stranded wire ; this is also known as crimping . Correct pressing is tensile and gas-tight, so that neither slipping out nor oxidation of the pressed-in conductor surfaces occurs.

Depending on the quality and manufacturer, the pliers have different properties. A distinction is made according to the pressed shape of the end sleeve:

  • Trapezoid (DIN)
  • square
  • rectangle
  • V-shape (mandrel pressing)
  • hexagon

Depending on the type, pliers are also equipped with

  • Forced compression (prevents early opening of the pliers)
  • defined pressing pressure
  • Locking and unlocking
  • exchangeable matrices for different types and cross-sections of ferrules
  • automatic cross-section adjustment
