TE Connectivity CERTI-LOK Crimp Tool Frame, Adjustable Ratchet, 265mm Length, Industrial Grade 169400

TE Connectivity 169400 Crimp Tool Frame is a professional-grade crimping tool frame offering precise and consistent crimps for electrical terminals and contacts. With an overall length of 265mm, this tool features an adjustable ratchet mechanism that locks the die handles until a complete crimp is made, preventing partial crimps and ensuring gas-tight electrical connections that resist corrosion and heat damage.

The ratchet height adjustment wheel allows fine tuning of crimp force and height to accommodate insulation or wire barrel dimensions, compensating for natural wear and tear over time. The included ratchet release feature lets the operator disengage the tool if the crimping cycle needs to be aborted mid-use.

Constructed with a durable yet lightweight design, this Crimp Tool Frame accepts a wide variety of interchangeable dies, which must be purchased separately to match specific terminal types such as insulated PIDG, PLASTI-GRIP, or uninsulated SOLISTRAND terminals.

Accurate terminal positioning is assured by a colour-coded locator, and a stabiliser helps prevent terminals from bending during crimping. Ergonomically designed handles reduce hand fatigue for users performing repetitive tasks.

This tool is ideal for use in industrial, commercial, institutional, and laboratory settings for prototyping, field installations, maintenance, and repair of electrical systems. The ratchet control enforces full crimp cycles for consistent quality.

Lightweight frame reduces user fatigue during extended operations. Interchangeable dies extend tool versatility for various terminal types. Colour-coded guides and stabilisers enhance precision and reduce errors. German manufactured quality assures durability and reliability.
