GENERAL INFORMATION

The Hand crimp tool Z80-255 consists of a Rigidus Hand Crimp Tool with a die-set (Z80-244)
designed for M225 series crimp contacts. The tool is supplied with a locator (Z80-259), fitted to
the rear of the tool, to ensure correct and consistent location of the crimp contacts within the
tool.
The Rigidus Hand Crimp Tool includes the following features:
Parallel action stroke for accurate and consistent crimp performance

Unique locator design for full visibility of contact and wire insertion

Symmetric crimp dies and locator allow assembly to suit right-handed

or left-handed users
Lightweight and compact design for easy access

Ergonomic handles shaped for low effort crimping




Lifetime tests exceeding 50,000 cycles

The contact is correctly crimped when the tool is free to open at the fully closed position, i.e., when
the ratchet releases. The tool cannot be opened without completing the cycle – if the handles have
not opened, squeeze the handles together to complete the cycle.
