2. Crimp (joining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimp_(joining)

   Crimp (joining) Crimping is a method of joining two or more pieces of metal or other ductile material by deforming one or both of them to hold the other. The bend or deformity is called the crimp. [1][2] Crimping tools are used to create crimps. Crimping is used extensively in metalworking, including to contain bullets in cartridge cases, for ...

3. Pliers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliers

   Special tools for making crimp connections in electrical and electronic applications are often called crimping pliers or crimpers; each type of connection uses its own dedicated tool. Parallel pliers have jaws that close in parallel to each other, as opposed to the scissor-type action of traditional pliers.

4. Lineman's pliers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineman's_pliers

   Typical uses. Lineman's pliers are used in the electrical trade to cut, straighten, and bend wire, and also to twist wires together when making splices. Lineman's can be used to strip wire and some types of cable, although wire strippers are more commonly used for this purpose as they can strip wire more quickly without damaging the conductors ...

5. Wire stripper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_stripper

   A laser wire stripper is a computer-controlled machine, much like a CNC router, which uses a laser to burn off the insulation of the wire. Laser wire stripping machines are used mostly for very fine gauge wires since they do not damage the conductor. A typical CO 2 laser wire stripping machine should be capable of stripping the insulation from ...

6. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

   A wire and connector being crimped together with a crimping tool Main article: Crimp (electrical) Crimped connectors are a type of solderless connection, using mechanical friction and uniform deformation to secure a connector to a pre-stripped wire (usually stranded). [ 1 ]

7. IDC (electrical connector) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDC_(electrical_connector)

   An insulation-displacement contact (IDC), also known as insulation-piercing contact (IPC), is an electrical connector designed to be connected to the conductor (s) of an insulated cable by a connection process which forces a selectively sharpened blade or blades through the insulation, bypassing the need to strip the conductors of insulation ...
