Hand Crimper Erko ERKO PRASKA RĘCZNA with Dies US1, US2 – model PR50DUAL

Erko PR50DUAL is a manual hand crimper supplied with two interchangeable dies (US1 and US2) for forming and crimping connections. The compact, mechanically operated press is intended for situations where a powered or hydraulic tool is unnecessary or impractical. It is designed to deliver controlled, repeatable manual crimps for electrical, mechanical and general-purpose connector assemblies during installation, repair and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The hand crimper provides a simple, tool-free change of dies to adapt to different connector profiles without requiring additional equipment. Its ergonomic handle and mechanical leverage deliver consistent crimp force while remaining portable and easy to operate on site. The dual-die supply allows quick switching between two common crimping profiles, reducing downtime when working with mixed connector types.

Suitable for

• On-site electrical connector crimping and cable terminations
• Field repair and maintenance of mechanical and electrical assemblies
• Small-batch or intermittent workshop crimping tasks
• Applications where portability and manual control are required

Key specifications

• Operation: manual hand-operated crimper with mechanical leverage
• Included dies: two interchangeable die sets (US1 and US2) for different crimp profiles
• Design: compact, portable hand tool suitable for field use
• Intended use: forming and crimping of connectors and terminations
• Material contact surfaces: hardened die inserts for repeatable crimps (material type depends on die)

How to use

Select the appropriate die set for the connector or terminal to be crimped and fit it into the tool according to the manufacturer's seating method. Insert the prepared conductor and terminal between the die faces, align the parts, and apply steady manual force on the handle until the crimp is completed. Release the handle and remove the crimped assembly. For multiple crimps, ensure consistent positioning and pressure to maintain uniform results.

Usage recommendations

Use the Erko PR50DUAL with connectors and terminal types that match the supplied dies. Verify crimp quality with a visual and, if applicable, mechanical pull test after crimping. Keep dies clean and free of debris, and store the tool in a dry environment to maintain performance. Replace worn or damaged dies to preserve crimp consistency.
