It is important to use the recommended Crimp tool and Die to ensure a satisfactory crimp: ME series Crimp Die Hand Held Crimping Tool: CEMBRE HT 131-C Cordless Hydraulic14.4v Crimping Tool : B 131-C 1.

A hydraulic crimping tool and hexagonal Die set is used to perform a crimp termination.

Selection of the correct crimp die is essential to achieve a reliable result. As cable conductor sections vary widely, the table in the enclosed PDF download is intended as a guide to appropriate die selection. Cable tensile test should be performed to ensure the final crimp termination meets the tensile and mv drop test of a particular specification.

Crimp Termination Guide

1: Select the appropriate Die set: For example if you are using a 240mm ² cable use Die set ME48.

2: Strip the cable jacket to leave 43mm of conductor exposed.

3: Slide the conductor into the rear of the contact.Take care to ensure all the wire strands are inside the contact.

4: Place the contact and cable carefully into the die set and close the crimping tool. In

the case of tool HT131 the tool hands are pumped until they go no further.

As the tool reaches the required compression you will feel and hear a click. The tool can

then be opened to release the finished crimp.

5: In some case more than one crimp is recommended to ensure the maximum surface

are of crimp are achieved. From table 2 we can see for example that a 240mm crimp

should be made in 3 equidistant positions along the contact crimp area.
