Automated crimping eases assembly

A crimp inspection window in the housing aids quality control, while the insulation crimp barrel provides improved strain relief.

Harwin's Datamate Trio-Tek open barrel crimp contact automates the crimp process to cut assembly time and reduce process costs.

The crimp design has a latching feature that simplifies the insertion of contacts into the housing.

Product Manager Graham Cunningham said: "The Datamate Trio-Tek auto-crimp contact features a triangular form that is the key to providing a simplified crimping process while at the same time enabling the customer to fully automate crimping in medium and high-volume applications".

"Further, inexpensive hand crimping tools are also available for lower volume and product development and prototyping applications".

The contact of the Datamate Trio-Tek is tested in accordance with BS 9525-F0033.

The contacts come with jackscrews and are available both loose and on reels.

Typical applications include high-reliability, high-volume markets such as commercial aerospace, data communications, medical devices, engine management and high-end industrial equipment, including pumps, heavy machinery and drilling rigs.
