TE Connectivity CERTI-CRIMP Portable Tools

TE Connectivity CERTI-CRIMP Portable Tools are top-of-the-line and premium hand-operated tools for crimping a broad array of terminals, contacts, and special wiring devices. These portable tools are designed to exact specifications to produce consistent and high-quality terminations. The potential service life of over 50,000 cycles is possible, depending on operator care. These tools come in seven basic styles of CERTI-CRIMP portable tools, the choice depends on the product being applied and/or your preferred method of application. The seven basic styles include CERTI-CRIMP II Straight Action Hand Tool (SAHT), Double Action Hand Tool (DAHT), T-HEAD hand tool (T-HEAD), TETRA-CRIMP hand tool (TETRA), Platform die hand tool (UFHT), Heavy Head Hand Tool (HHHT), and C Head straight action hand tool.

The CERTI-CRIMP Portable Tools feature a reliable ratchet control system. The ratchet will not release until the handles are fully closed and the dies bottomed which helps eliminate partial crimps. The crimp designs incorporate percent-of-compression that optimizes electrical and mechanical performance. These CERTI-CRIMP portable tools are well suited for low production runs, prototype work, and repairs with almost any application requiring consistent and highly-reliable terminations.
