IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CABLE TYPE, THE KLAUKE K507WF CREATES SQUARE- SHAPED CABLE ENDS PERFECT FOR FITTING INTO TERMINAL CONTACTS… Tight and secure ferrule crimping
We’ve all come across a situation where bootlace ferrules don’t seem to grip the cable enough and, in the worst case, can be pulled off. This is often due to the crimping profile of traditional ratchet tools being of a fixed dimension. When a cable is slightly smaller in physical diameter, there is less material in the ferrule and the fixed tool profile doesn’t compress it enough. The new range of manual crimping dies in the K507WF ratchet tool has been specially designed to grip onto every cable type using a clever comb-shaped die. Covering the range from 0.5- 50sqmm over three die sets, the result is a square-shaped cable end which is the perfect size to fit into terminal contacts – allowing for maximum clamping and electrical contact. The crimping width has also been thought about, enabling most ferrules to
be crimped with a single action. The clever design folds any excess material inwards towards the cable – leaving a perfect square shape every time. Another advantage is that the ferrules are easily removed from the die after crimping so the days of ferrules sticking in the die are over.
