Panduit CT-1000 Semiautomatic Ferrule Crimping Tool

This Panduit CT-1000 semiautomatic ferrule crimping tool has integrated cutting, stripping, and crimping functions and produces a trapezoidal crimp profile suitable for use with terminal blocks. It is compatible with conductors from American Wire Gauge (AWG) #20 to #14 (0.5 to 2.5 sq. mm) and matching Panduit continuously molded strip ferrules. This crimper has an adjustable crimp force dial for applying the proper amount of crimp force to ferrules of different sizes and a spring-loaded mechanism for returning the tool to the open position when the crimp is completed. This semiautomatic ferrule crimping tool is suitable for use in industrial, automotive, and other electrical applications.SpecificationsCrimper typeHand-operated, strip-fedWeight9.17 oz.

They have nests and indenters that vary in size and shape according to application. Manual crimpers are suitable for portable applications that create small terminal connections while power crimpers use air, electricity, hydraulic power, or a combination of these to aid compression, and are used in high volume applications. Crimpers can be used for applications ranging from manual field repairs to fully automated terminal production operations.Panduit manufactures electrical and networking products. The company, founded in 1955, is headquartered in Tinley Park, Il.
