A crimp tool includes a frame, a lead screw and a nut assembly connected to the lead screw. A spring member is connected to the frame and movable with rotation of the lead screw. A first transducer is connected to the nut assembly to measure a first force applied on the nut assembly. A second transducer is connected to the spring member to measure a second force applied thereon by the spring member.

Crimp tool force monitoring device

An adjustable neutral bar and adjustable neutral bar assemblies are provided. The bars and bar assemblies are adjustable to a desired number of taps. The bars and bar assemblies can have mating bar ends or clips that allow for easy connection of multiple bars to one another. Additionally, the bars and bar assemblies can have shear regions that allow for easy separation of a bar at a desired location.

Adjustable neutral bars and adjustable neutral bar assemblies

A crimping die includes a tool engaging surface, a crimping area, and at least one selecting aperture to assist a user in selecting an appropriate connector or an appropriate conductor for use with the crimping die. The crimping die may include a first selecting aperture indicating an appropriately sized connector to be crimped with the die, a second selecting aperture indicating a minimum sized conductor to be crimped with the die, and a third selecting aperture indicating a maximum sized conductor to be crimped with the die.

Smart conductor/connector selecting die

A die set adapted to remove an end of a substantially flat lug of an electrical connector. The die set includes a first die and a second die. The first die includes a first frame and a spring loaded member connected to the first frame. The first frame includes a first contact surface adapted to directly contact a first side of the lug. The second die includes a second frame having a second contact surface adapted to contact a second side of the lug at a position offset from the first contact surface. The spring loaded member is adapted to contact the first side of the lug directly opposite the second contact surface. The first and second contact surfaces are adapted to shear off the end of the lug from the electrical connector.

Electrical connector configuring dies, tool and method

A fastener used to secure an electrical conductor includes a head, a shaft, and a pressure pad. The head has an inner surface for receiving a drive tool. The shaft has an outer surface including a threaded portion. The pressure pad can include a surface feature. The pressure pad can also be releasably, rotationally-fixed to the shaft through a breakaway portion.

Pressure pad for screw and breakaway pressure screw

Disclosed herein is a hydraulic tool working head guide. The hydraulic tool working head guide includes a main section having a general plate shape. The main section is adapted to be connected to an exterior surface of a hydraulic tool working head. The main section includes a slot having an open end at an edge of the main section and a closed end at a middle portion of the main section. The slot extends through a thickness of the main section. The closed end is adapted to be aligned with a receiving area of the hydraulic tool working head. The slot is adapted to substantially center a connector and/or a conductor in the receiving area.

Crimping tool connector locator

A connector installation apparatus including a frame, a ram and a gas spring. The frame includes an anvil section. The anvil section is adapted to have a first connector part located at the anvil section. The ram is movably connected to the frame. The ram includes a front section adapted to have a second connector part located at the front section. The gas spring includes a piston head on a rear end of the ram, and a portion of the frame forming two variable chambers with the piston head.

Insertion tool with gas spring

A hand-held electrical conductor cleaning apparatus including a frame having a handle section and a tube section; an abrasive member movably mounted in the tube section; a motor adapted to move the abrasive member inside the tube section; a battery connected to the motor; and a user control for actuating the motor.

Hand-held electrical conductor cleaning apparatus

A hand-held, battery-powered, hydraulically-actuated tool including a frame forming a tool longitudinal axis; a battery offset from the tool longitudinal axis; and located along the tool longitudinal axis a motor connected to the battery; a hydraulic fluid pump connected to the motor, such as by a transmission; a ram movably connected to the frame and adapted to be moved relative to the frame by hydraulic fluid pumped by the hydraulic fluid pump; and a working head adapted to be actuated by the ram. The tool includes a main section situated in an in-line configuration along the tool longitudinal axis. A center longitudinal axis of the battery is offset from the tool longitudinal axis.

Hand-held, portable, battery-powered hydraulic tool

An electrical connector including a connector section and a connector performance indicating section. The connector section includes a first connection section adapted to connect to a first electrical conductor and a second connection section adapted to connect to a second electrical conductor. The connector section is adapted to electrical connect the first electrical conductor to the second electrical conductor. The connector performance indicating section is connected to a portion of the connector section. The connector performance indicating section includes a temperature sensitive indicator adapted to signal occurrence of a temperature of the portion of the connector section above a predetermined temperature. The temperature sensitive indicator comprises a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.
