Samtec’s new CAT-HT-309-2830-12 hand tool is specifically designed to crimp the 1,00 mm CC09R series reeled contacts on #28 or #30 AWG wire. It is ideal for low-volume, pre-production and repair applications of discrete wire components.
A mini reel of contacts (CC09M series) is also available with a smaller quantity of contacts than full reels, making it possible to build prototypes and test samples without maintaining a large inventory of contacts. An optional table mount clamp (CAT-HT-MNT-01) is offered as well.
The hand crimping tool is engineered for durability and is calibrated at the factory to the optimum preload force required to achieve a proper crimp. Samtec provides manufacturing flexibility through a range of tooling options from simple hand tools to mini applicators designed for higher-volume production.
The CAT-HT-309-2830-12 and components are used to assemble Samtec’s new 1,00 mm pitch discrete wire cable assembly (S1SS series) which features a crimp style dual leaf contact system for a reliable cable-to-board connection. This system is available in a single-row design with up to 20 total pins.
