An in-line portable, handheld hydraulic scissor-type action crimping tool having a handle assembly and a working head assembly is provided. The handle assembly has a tool frame portion and a neck portion. The working head assembly has a pair of jaw members joined so that they are movable relative to each other and held in place by a locking pin. One jaw member has a nest secured to or directly formed into the jaw member. The other jaw member has an indentor secured to or directly formed into the jaw member.

A wire stripping die is configured to be coupled to a crimping tool. The stripping die includes a die body, a first ridge, and a second ridge. The die body includes a first side, a second side, and a groove extending at least partially between the first side and the second side. The groove extends along an axis. The first ridge protrudes from a surface of the groove toward the axis by a first distance. The first ridge extends along at least a portion of the perimeter of the groove and extends at least partially around the axis. The second ridge protrudes from the surface of the groove toward the axis, and the second ridge extends parallel to the axis along at least a portion of the groove.

A press cutting tool is disclosed. The press cutting tool includes a first and second plier, a first and second connecting rod, an opening, a pressing block, and a cutting block. The first and second connecting rods are connected to the second plier. The opening is used for placing a connection head. The pressing block is connected to the first connecting rod for clamping housing. The cutting block is connected to the second connecting rod for cutting the connection line; wherein the pressing block and the cutting block slide separately, and an initial distance from the pressing block to the opening is greater than an initial distance from the cutting block to the opening. After the first and second plier are pressed, the pressing block slides first to clamp and press the housing, and then the cutting block slides to cut the connection line.

Technology of the present invention suppresses a decrease in the impedance of an inner conductor. A connector 10 includes an inner conductor 21, an outer conductor 41 that surrounds the inner conductor 21, and a dielectric 61 arranged between the inner conductor 21 and the outer conductor 41. The dielectric 61 includes a cavity 63 that extends in a predetermined direction and a locking hole 64 formed in an inner peripheral face of the cavity 63. The inner conductor 21 includes an inner conductor body 23 arranged in the cavity 63, and a locking portion 24 that bulges from the inner conductor body 23 and can enter and be locked to the locking hole 64. The locking portion 24 extends along the predetermined direction and is shaped as a double-supported beam whose upper and lower end portions are supported by the inner conductor body 23.

A power pin alignment and crimping fixture having a fixture body. The fixture body includes a plurality of channels each having a first open end and a second open end. The plurality of channels are disposed at an angle diverging away from one another in a direction from the first open end to the second open end such that each of the plurality of channels are disposed along a corresponding side edge of a symmetrical shape.

A terminal cutter includes a tool frame having a first cutting member coupled to an upper handle having a first cutting surface for cutting a terminal from a carrier strip and a second cutting member coupled to a lower handle having a second cutting surface for cutting the terminal from the carrier strip. A terminal strip guide assembly is coupled to the upper handle and/or the lower handle offset from the first and second cutting members. The terminal strip guide assembly includes a strip guide having a slot receiving the carrier strip and having a guide surface adjacent the slot. The guide surface is configured to engage the terminal to locate the terminal relative to the terminal strip guide assembly and to control a depth of the carrier strip received in the slot.

Technology of the present invention improves the shielding performance of an outer conductor. A connector 10 includes an inner conductor 20 and an outer conductor 40 that surrounds the inner conductor 20. The outer conductor 40 includes a first outer conductor 41 that can be electrically connected to a shield layer 83 of an electric wire 80, and a second outer conductor 42 that can be electrically connected to the first outer conductor 41 and can be electrically connected to a partner outer conductor 93 of a partner connector 90. The first outer conductor 41 is a member formed with a tubular shape by casting or cutting, and includes a first lock portion 47. The second outer conductor 42 is a plate-shaped member and includes a second lock portion 51 that can be locked to the first lock portion 41.

A connector includes a housing and an outer conductor. The outer conductor includes a first outer conductor and a second outer conductor. The housing includes a fitting hole into which the second outer conductor is fitted. The first outer conductor includes a first lock portion. In the state where the first outer conductor is located at a normal insertion position, the first lock portion is arranged so as to face the back side in the fitting direction of the second outer conductor in the fitting hole. The second outer conductor includes a second lock portion that is locked to the first lock portion in the state where the first outer conductor is located at the normal insertion position. In the state where the second lock portion is locked to the first lock portion, the second outer conductor is retained in the fitting hole.

A crimping tool with a crimping opening extending at an angle to the axial direction of the tool. The tool can include jaws with multiple crimping openings cooperatively defined thereby at different angles relative to the longitudinal axial direction of the tool. For example, the crimping openings can begin at a respective faces of the jaw and such faces can extend at different angles relative to the longitudinal axial direction of the tool. In this manner, the tool can allow crimping of connectors at a variety of different angles, reduce jaw length and width, and improve the leverage of the crimpers.
