Industrial electricians frequently encounter a frustrating problem: PLC control cabinets continue showing leakage currents even after careful installation. The culprit often isn’t the PLC modules themselves but inadequate ferrule terminal connections. When wire ends lack proper ferrule termination, loose strands create micro-arcing, oxidation, and gradual connection degradation that manifests as leakage current. Understanding PLC cabinet […]
Table of Contents Introduction to Heat Shrink Insulated Terminals Crimping In demanding environments such as marine, automotive, and outdoor industrial installations, heat shrink insulated terminals crimping provides a higher level of protection than ordinary cold-press joints. When you combine a proper heat shrink insulated terminals crimping tool with quality connectors like the HS-40 ratchet crimper […]
Introduction: Choosing the Right Crimping Tool Type Professional electricians face a critical decision when equipping their toolkit: which electrical crimping tool types should they invest in? According to the IEC 60364 standard for electrical installations, proper terminal crimping directly impacts system reliability and safety. However, not all crimping tools are created equal. Different applications demand […]
If you want to join cables and connectors safely, you need to understand crimping first. Crimping joins connectors and cables by compressing metal parts together to create a secure, long-lasting electrical bond. In this guide, you will learn what crimping is and which type of crimping tools you need to get your job done. What […]
If you work on control panels, machine wiring, automotive harnesses, or serious DIY projects, a good ratchet crimp tool can quietly make or break your day. When crimps are consistent, your terminations pass inspection, panels stay stable, and you stop chasing “mystery” intermittent faults at 10 p.m. on a Friday. In this guide, we will […]
Walk into any control cabinet, and you will see hundreds—sometimes thousands—of ferrules. Yet many shops still treat ferrule crimping tools as an afterthought. That usually shows up later as loose connections, nuisance downtime, or failed inspections. This post walks through what ferrule crimping tools are, how they actually work, and how you can choose the […]
