Application Tooling
TE Connectivity
Ensuring a quality connection is essential to delivering high performance and reliability in extreme environments. From crimping a terminal onto a wire or pressing a connector onto a board, TE's equipment and services are designed to maximize production uptime, extend tooling life and minimize manufacturing waste.
Featured Products
Applicators
TE Connectivity applicators are designed to crimp a vast variety of terminals from TE and other manufacturers. Crafted from high grade tool steels and processed through advanced CNC equipment for tight tolerances, TE's applicators are made for high repeatability and fast throughput. More Information.
Benchtop Wire Crimping Machines and Wire Stripping Machines
TE's extensive line of bench-top wire crimping machines provide flexibility, performance, and reliability for low to medium volume wire processing. The Model G II+ features the most advanced design in the long-standing series of AMP-O-LECTRIC machines for terminating wire using reeled terminals. AMP 3K and 5K Terminators are powerful, economically-priced machines that yield the increased output and quality of a semi-automatic machine. More Information.
Connectors and Seating Machines
TE Connectivity's connector seating machines process compliant pin connectors and can handle the most demanding applications from daughter cards to mid-planes and back-planes. Our premier compliant pin, solder-free insertion press fit machines offer quicker, more reliable and less operator intensive processing. Fast, simple product presentation with full control and monitoring of force, distance and speed results in higher quality, improved yield and greater cost savings.
Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) Processing
TE Connectivity's FFC termination machine is an electrical-driven, semi-automatic assembly machine that uses different die sets to terminate reel-feed FFC contacts to manually supplied FFC cables. The machine terminates a predefined number of contacts to the supplied cable end and individual wire positions can be skipped during the assembly sequence. FFC termination provides quick change, interchangeable applicators for different products, along with an operator-friendly touch screen capability.
Heat Shrink Tubing Processing Equipment
TE Connectivity's equipment for heat shrink tubing seals and protects electrical splices, and provides mechanical protection for fluid management systems in harsh environments. Across a wide range of applications, we deliver optimal heating temperatures, performance and control features for greater efficiency.

High Voltage Wire Processing Equipment
Wire processing of large wire sizes and termination of high voltage wire connectors requires a high performing, highly-engineered solution. The TE high force lineup gives you the power needed to process large wire applications in a fast, flexible and affordable format. Our HV-CP machine takes the complexity and long preparation times out of high voltage cable processing, while our HF-20 and HV-20 bench-top pressing machines are capable of terminating cables up to 120mm2 (AWG 4/0). Plus, the TE modular die platform allows you to use a wide variety of unique die sets in holders that can be installed into either press. More Information.
High-Precision Insertion and Extraction Tools
TE Connectivity's insertion tools and extraction tools are designed to respectively insert and extract a terminal from the connector housing without damaging the terminal or housing—a key criteria in quality wire processing that is especially important for rework and repair at the OEM and in the after-market. Available standard or customized, our insertion and extraction tool kits are equipped to carry out precision tasks to the highest professional standards, yielding a quality end product and greater operational efficiency for your business. More Information.
Insulation Displacement Crimp
TE Connectivity's line of Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) machines are designed to apply all the TE related RAST 2.5 and RAST 5 connectors used within the household appliance and automotive industry. We provide economical and application-specific solutions for every possible harness and offer several semi-automatic machines for small and medium quantities, as well as the IHM Mark III, a fully-automated machine for larger production volumes. Our machines are configurable by a variety of options to meet diverse customer-specific needs. Various testing procedures are available to ensure high production reliability.
Magnet Wire Equipment
TE Connectivity's line of magnet wire termination machines is designed specifically for terminating magnet wire pigtail splices, thru splices, coils, MAG-MATE products and Crimpband, among others. MAG-MATE and AMPLIVAR splices and terminals are available in a wide range of configurations to meet most magnet wire termination needs—all provide high reliability with minimal wire preparation. Plus, many TE machines offer automatic precision adjustment functionality (CQM). Need help finding the right equipment? Click on the Find a Solution for Your Application button below to get started.
Pin Insertion Machines
TE Connectivity's pin insertion machines are designed to apply products from TE and other manufacturers to meet your diverse production requirements. From stand-alone to semi- and fully-automatic, TE pin insertion machines combine performance-enhancing accessories with the flexibility to meet your production needs today and tomorrow. In addition to PCB processing, our pin insertion machines are capable of non-PCB applications, such as connector stitching and stitching into housings or dies for injection molding machines.
Portable Crimp Tools
TE Connectivity (TE) provides a wide variety of portable crimp tools. Whether you need manual tooling or something with more power, TE has the tool for you. Our SDE dies can be used across platforms from manual to pneumatic to battery-powered as your needs change. We also carry tools for insertion and extraction, IDC, networking applications and so much more. More Information.
