ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION TOOLS
CONNECTOR CRIMPING TOOLS
Crimping Tools for Safe, Certified and Reliable Electrical Connections
Crimping tools for crimping terminals and cables lugs, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
A crimping tool, also known as a crimper, is used to permanently attach cable lugs, connectors and joints to electrical conductors through controlled deformation of the connector material.
The result is a secure electrical and mechanical connection that offers:
- Reliable current transfer
- Consistent and repeatable crimp quality
- Long-term connection performance
- Installation without the need for soldering
The CEMBRE Range of Crimping Tools
How to Choose the Right Crimping Tool
Selecting the correct crimping tool depends on three key factors: the type of connector being installed, the conductor size, and the volume of work being carried out.
Choosing the right solution ensures consistent crimp quality, improved installation efficiency and long-term connection reliability.
Different connector types require specific crimping profiles and tool configurations.
CEMBRE offers dedicated solutions for:
- Insulated terminals and connectors
- End sleeves (ferrules)
- Uninsulated terminals and joints
- Copper and aluminium cable lugs
- Large cross-section power connectors
Using the correct combination of connector, die and tool helps achieve a certified and repeatable crimp every time.
The frequency of use and scale of the installation should also influence tool selection.
- Occasional Installation and Maintenance: Mechanical hand tools and crimping pliers provide a practical solution for low-volume applications and service work.
- Regular Installation Work: Mechanical crimping tools offer improved consistency and efficiency for installers carrying out frequent crimping operations.
- Heavy-Duty Applications: Hydraulic crimping tools are designed for larger conductors and applications requiring higher crimping forces.
- High-Volume Production: Bench presses provide maximum productivity and repeatability for OEM manufacturing, wiring harness production and repetitive crimping processes.
Battery-powered hydraulic crimping tools combine the power of hydraulic compression with the freedom of cordless operation.
These tools enable a single operator to position both cable and connector while carrying out the crimping process, improving efficiency and reducing installation time.
Additional benefits include:
- Increased productivity on site
- Reduced operator fatigue
- Greater manoeuvrability in confined spaces
- Consistent and repeatable crimping performance
- No external hydraulic pump required
