Application Tooling
Product Category
From crimping a terminal onto a wire or pressing a connector onto a board, our equipment and services are designed to maximize production and reliability.
APT bench machines are available in two versions: the 5A with automatic precision adjustment controlled by the crimp quality monitor (CQM) and the 5E with manual precision adjustment. Using CQM, the APT 5A provides 100% inspection and automatic adjustment of crimp height. If a questionable crimp is detected, visual and audible alarms alert the operator. The lower cost, manual adjust APT 5E is a simpler version with the advantage of faster set-up times but without CQM capability.
Our APT machines offer a fast, efficient system with no need to strip magnet wire insulation.

Overview of TE application tooling and equipment portfolio for processing magnet wire.
Our heat-shrink tubing heating equipment provides optimal heating temperatures, performance, and control features for sealing and protecting electrical splices in harsh environments.
The MAG-MATE, Mini MAG-MATE, and SIAMEZE terminal products can be used on a variety of applications. Common examples include: small motors, relays, transformers, bobbin coils, shaded pole-motors, solenoids, and motor protectors with a thermal cutout. We provide custom tooling solutions that directly interface with your product.
Read how proper crimp tooling design, based on bottoming dies, is essential to consistent crimping that meets specifications.
CERTI-CRIMP portable crimping tools are top-of-the-line, premium hand-operated tools for crimping a broad array of terminals, contacts and special wiring devices. They are designed to exacting specifications to produce consistent, high-quality terminations.
Our commercial hand tools provide the versatility of general-purpose service tools along with the reliability and ease of use of many premium-grade tools. For versatility, all 75 die sets are interchangeable, including those for open-barrel contacts and terminals. Additionally, many of these die sets have multiple cavities for crimping a variety of contact or terminal sizes.
The Cordless Electric Power Tool Kit features an integral die set with two crimping chambers. These chambers allow the tool operator to splice a wide variety of wire sizes and combinations without having to repeatedly remove and replace die sets.
Determine a good crimp from a poor crimp using this poster as a guideline.
Crimp height is the best non-destructive way to meet stringent mechanical and electrical properties of a crimp. Crimp height is one of 5 different process analysis methods featured in the new CQM II.
Quality, cost and throughput are associated with specific measurements and linked to process variables. Crimp height, pull test values, leads per hour and crimp symmetry are some of the measurements used to monitor production termination processes.
There are few things in the world of electrical assembly that appear more straightforward than crimping wires to terminals. Stripped wire is inserted into a short metal tube called a wire barrel. A crimping tool then compresses the wire barrel tightly around the strands of the stripped wire, forming one homogeneous metal.
Hand Tool Kits can be simple or complex but, as long as you have a volume requirement, we can design, manufacture and deliver what you need. Everything you require including product in one handy case. Made to your specifications.
This brochure provides an overview of TE extraction tools; how to search TE.com for the correct tooling based on terminal part number; and a tool-to-terminal/housing cross reference.
EYE Check is a tool to help adjust the terminal front feed position on applicators more quickly and is especially helpful with smaller terminals. It consists of a software program (supports both Windows and Mac OS X operating systems). A camera assembly specially designed to quickly attach to TE Ocean, HDM and HDI side feed applicators, which have space behind the terminal support for the camera holder. The camera will also work with a TE CQM-II on a bench terminator.
