Terminal Crimping Applicator

Crimping is a process used to join wire to wire or wire to terminal. Just as the name suggests, bonding occurs when one piece of metal is deformed and compressed tightly with another piece of metal.A crimping tool is the tool used to deform the material and create the connection. Crimping is commonly used in electrical work, to attach wires together or wire to other connectors.A firm crimp is required to prevent the bullet being driven back into the case under recoil. We still see such crimps on handgun cartridges, both semiauto and revolver.In the electronics industry, crimping is the process in which a wire is permanently fixed to the contact of a connector using mechanical force. Crimps come in many forms and sizes but the principle behind them is the same.
