Crimping die Knipex 97 49 40

The Knipex 97 49 40 crimping die is an accessory designed for use with compatible Knipex crimping tools, specifically matching the 97 43 xx series. Engineered for precise crimping of electrical connectors, this die provides consistent mechanical pressure and alignment to form reliable cable terminations. At approximately 57 g, the compact and robust steel construction is intended to withstand repeated use while maintaining dimensional stability for accurate crimps.

Advantages

This crimping die delivers repeatable crimp quality and secure electrical connections through tight manufacturing tolerances and a durable finish. Its compact weight and form factor make it easy to handle and install on the matching Knipex tool, while the wear-resistant surfaces help extend service life. The design focuses on stable alignment and pressure distribution to reduce the risk of incomplete crimps or connector damage.

Suitable for

• Crimping insulated and uninsulated electrical connectors when used with compatible Knipex tools
• Field service and maintenance tasks requiring reliable cable terminations
• Electrical installations and repairs in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments
• DIY electrical projects where consistent crimp performance is required

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for Knipex crimping tools in the 97 43 xx series
• Weight: approximately 57 g
• Material: hardened steel construction for wear resistance and stability
• Function: precision crimping die for consistent pressure distribution and alignment
• Design: compact form factor for easy installation and handling

How to use

Fit the crimping die into the corresponding slot on the compatible Knipex 97 43 xx tool following the tool manufacturer's instructions. Position the connector and stripped conductor between the die faces, then actuate the tool to apply the crimp. After crimping, inspect the deformation for secure mechanical and electrical contact and, if required, perform a pull test or continuity check to verify the joint. Remove and replace the die only when the tool is in a safe, open position.

Usage recommendations

Use this die only with the recommended Knipex tool models to ensure correct alignment and safe operation. Keep the die clean and free of debris, and periodically inspect for wear or damage. For reliable results, follow connector manufacturer specifications for conductor preparation and crimp profiles.
