An electrical assembly includes a terminal having a terminal body, a first wing extending from the terminal body, and/or a second wing extending from the terminal body. An electrical assembly may include a conductor in electrical contact with the first wing. The conductor may include a conductive layer and/or an insulative layer. An inner surface of the first wing and/or an outer surface of the first wing may be in direct contact with the conductive layer of the conductor.

Systems and devices for crimping a medical device and associated methods are disclosed herein. A crimping device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a frame including a stationary plate, a movable member, and a plurality of blades arranged to form a channel and each including a pin that projects through a slot on the movable member and a corresponding slot on the stationary plate. The crimping device can be actuated to move the movable member relative to the stationary plate to drive the pins along paths defined by the slots to thereby drive the blades radially inward to crimp a medical device positioned within the channel.

An electrical crimp ferrule includes a circumferential center portion, a first circumferential flank connected to the center portion, and a second circumferential flank connected to the center portion. The circumferential center portion integrally connects the first and second circumferential flanks. At least one crimp diameter compensation element extends from at least one of the first circumferential flank or the second circumferential flank and is adapted to engage with an electrical cable having a non-circular cross section in a crimped state of the ferrule.

A tool for producing an arrangement composed of an electrical line and a contact device with a crimp sleeve includes a first press jaw unit and a guide unit. The first press jaw unit delimits a tool receptacle and receives the crimp sleeve and the electrical line. The first press jaw unit has a first press jaw with a first press surface and a second press jaw with a second press surface. The second press surface is adjustable between a first press position positioned radially inwardly and a second press position. The guide unit provides a first pressing force transmitted into the first press surface and from the first press jaw to the second press jaw. The first press surface stamps a first stamped indentation and the second press surface stamps a second stamped indentation into the crimp sleeve to crimp the crimp sleeve on the electrical line.

A joint crimping apparatus adapted to crimp a joint to an end of a cable includes a base, a fixed die detachably mounted on the base, a movable die configured to reciprocate relative to the fixed die, and a separation mechanism. The fixed die has a first groove adapted to receive a portion of a joint in an un-crimped state. The movable die has a second groove adapted to cooperate with the first groove to crimp the joint to the end of the cable. The separation mechanism is configured to remove the cable jammed in the second groove and crimped with the joint from the second groove.

Portable, hand-held, battery operated, hydraulic tools are provided with a tool frame, a force sensor, and a location detector. A piston actuated by a hydraulic system within the tool frame applies force to the working head to perform a task, such as to apply a crimp to an electrical connector. The tool determines the maximum force applied to the crimp and records that maximum force along with the geographic location of the tool when the crimp was formed. The maximum force provides an indication of the quality of the crimp and the recorded location allows a potentially defective crimp to be located.

A crimping tool (1) is used to axially fasten a cable braid (3) of a cable (2) between a crimp sleeve (4) arranged on the cable (2) and a support sleeve (5) by means of crimping. The crimping tool (1) includes a first pressing jaw (6) having a first through-opening (8), which extends in an axial direction (x), and a second pressing jaw (7) having a second through-opening (9), which is coaxial with the first through-opening (8). The first and the second pressing jaw (6, 7) are displaceable relative to each other in the axial direction. For the crimping, the first pressing jaw (6) has a support surface (10) for supporting the crimp sleeve (4) in the axial direction, and the second pressing jaw (7) has a funnel-shaped forming surface (11) arranged around the second through-opening (9), for crimping the crimp sleeve (4) with respect to the support sleeve (5).
