The optimized leverage mechanism allows for up to 30% lower actuation force, making it easier to achieve secure connections without excessive physical effort. The tool is equipped with a pressure lock system that guarantees consistently high-quality crimping results by ensuring the full cycle is completed. Additionally, the integrated sturdy plastic guard protects the head of the pliers from damage if dropped, while the compact handle width ensures a comfortable and secure grip for various hand sizes.

Suitable for

• Processing uninsulated and insulated ferrules according to DIN 46228 Part 1 and 4
• Working with wire cross-sections from 0.14 mm² to 10 mm²
• Terminating TWIN ferrules up to 2 x 4 mm²
• Professional electrical installations and industrial wiring projects

When it may not be suitable

The CRIMPFOX CENTRUS 10S is specifically optimized for ferrules and is not intended for crimping non-ferrule connectors, such as standard insulated ring or spade terminals. It is also not suitable for wire sizes exceeding the specified 10 mm² capacity.

Key specifications

• Compatible wire range: 0.14 mm² to 10 mm²
• Supports TWIN ferrules up to 2 x 4 mm²
• Automatic cross-section adjustment
• Lateral wire insertion
• Weight: 380 g
• Dimensions: 70 mm width, 180 mm length
• Integrated fall protection

How to use

To use the tool, first ensure the wire is stripped to the appropriate length for the ferrule being used. Insert the ferrule into the crimping die from the side, as the tool is designed for lateral insertion. Place the stripped wire into the ferrule. Squeeze the handles firmly until the internal pressure lock releases, indicating that the crimping cycle is complete. The tool will automatically adjust to the cross-section of the ferrule, ensuring a precise and secure connection every time.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your specific wire cross-sections fall within the 0.14 mm² to 10 mm² range
• Ensure the tool is compatible with the specific type of ferrules you use in your projects
• Consider the ergonomic benefits if you perform high-volume crimping tasks daily

Usage recommendations: To maintain the longevity and performance of your crimping tool, store it in a dry environment and keep the crimping dies free of debris. Periodically inspect the tool for any signs of wear or damage to the plastic guard to ensure continued safety and precision.
