    Principles of crimping technology - Splice Technology

    Language: English
    File format: PDF (A4/21 pages)
    File name (Download):  PB-04-Splicetechnology-EN.zip

    Splice technology is not (yet) defined by standards! The quality specifications and test methods for splice connections are derived from the standards and applicable manufacturing standards for the open crimp sleeve and are supplemented by individual, company-specific manufacturing specifications. Depending on the application and field of use of the splice connection, quality requirements may change or suboptimal connections may be tolerated via special releases.

    In this practice-oriented technical ebook, the basic requirements for splice connections have been described. Since there is no specific standardization, we have recorded the currently valid manufacturing standard in this publication in cooperation with cable assemblers and splice technology manufacturers. This also includes specifications from various factory standards and the results of practical tests and empirical findings. The technological background and the definition of crimp quality play an important role. In addition to the design of splice connections, the test procedures for ensuring crimp quality are also described.

    This technical publication contains information from the relevant industry standards, as well as from various factory standards as well as the results of practical tests and empirical findings.

    Note: This publication is an excerpt from the reference book “Principles of Crimping Technology - Compendium“.

    The Open Crimp Barrel

    Language: English
    File format: PDF (A4/150 pages)
    File name (Download):  PB-06-OCB-EN.zip

    In crimping technology, the open crimp barrel is the crimp contact with the highest demands on crimp quality. In this practice-oriented technical ebook, these requirements for crimp connections with open crimp barrel contacts are the central topic. The technical background for the respective quality requirements is described in detail for each aspect of the open crimp barrel.

    In addition to the background technical considerations for the use of open crimp barrel contacts, the publication provides an overview of the contact types and the respective processing techniques with different tools. In addition to error descriptions, their causes and effects on the crimp connection, the book primarily deals with error detection and error prevention.

    The common test methods (visual inspection, crimp dimensions, pull-out test, micrograph preparation) describe, based on examples, how crimp quality can be checked and ensured.

    This technical publication contains information from the relevant industry standards, as well as from various factory standards as well as the results of practical tests and empirical findings.
