Weidmüller PZ 16 PZ 16 Crimp Tool Crimp Tool for Wire Ferrules | 9012600000

Clamp down on messy wire ends and neatly terminate your cables with this Weidmuller crimping tool. It features three clamping settings to attach 6mm², 10mm² and 16mm² ferrules to wires, making it an all-rounder for your workplace. To use it, simply insert a stripped cord set with the covering and squeeze the handles together. The indented shape increases conductive contact while protecting the inner components for a long-lasting and secure connection.

Ratcheting tools like this one apply a set amount of pressure to produce consistent results you can rely on. It’s a go-to option as it takes the guesswork out of cable termination.

Clamping ferrules onto the wire ends seals out air to minimise the risk of corrosion, so your cable connections last longer.

Weidmuller PZ 16 crimping tool for the precise indent crimping of bootlace wire-end ferrules with and without plastic collars according to DIN 46228 Part 1 and 4.

What is the difference between un-insulated and insulated crimp tools?

Un-insulated crimp tools are typically used for general applications, whereas the insulated crimp tools have been VDE tested up to 1000 V, designed for use where electrical current is present.

How do you maintain the product?

• Axles and other movable parts should be regularly lubricated.

• Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to contaminants.

• Adjustment of the crimping die nests should also be checked. Readjustment of the pressure adjustment axle is necessary when the pre-load of the tool decreases significantly.

When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and terminal. The other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas-tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there any voids present, then corrosion can occur causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas-tight crimp is produced preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage.
