An arrangement includes an electric cable having a first electric conductor and a contact device having a crimp barrel and a contact element mechanically and electrically connected to the crimp barrel. The crimp barrel extends along an axis and has a first inner circumferential side and a first outer circumferential side. A first impress and a second impress are stamped into a first sub-portion of the crimp barrel, the second impress is offset circumferentially from the first impress with respect to the axis. The first inner circumferential side is shaped by the first impress and the second impress in such a manner that the first inner circumferential side is pressed against a second outer circumferential side of the first electric conductor and electrically contacts the second outer circumferential side, with the first inner circumferential side fitting against the second outer circumferential side.

Pressing jaws for opposite arrangement in crimping pliers, the pressing jaws having ribs, which extend in a rib longitudinal direction and move into each other during pressing. A guide surface extending transversely to the rib longitudinal direction outside of a working region of the ribs is formed, which guide surface interacts with a guide protrusion extending from the opposite pressing jaw. In another version, the pressing jaws have ribs, which are designed to mesh with each other and which have a rib longitudinal direction. Crimping pliers comprise two plier jaws, which are provided with oppositely arranged pressing jaws having ribs, which extend in a rib longitudinal direction and which, during pressing, move into each other and delimit a pressing jaw opening.

A method provides for producing a cable connection assembly including an electrical cable connected to a cable connector. The cable connector is positioned on a conductor end portion, so that a portion of the insulating layer is at least partially surrounded by the cable connector. The conductor end portion is disposed within a fastening tube, so that a first tube portion of the fastening tube surrounds the cable connector, and a second tube portion of the fastening tube surrounds the cable jacket. The fastening tube is pressed between strip-shaped pressing surfaces which are disposed around a central axis at a constant distance therefrom. During the pressing step, the first tube portion is pressed to a first inner diameter and the second tube portion is pressed to a second inner diameter greater than the first inner diameter.

A connection body includes: a wire for operating an endoscope; and a joint member having a cylindrical shape including a through hole into which the wire is inserted, the joint member being configured to be joined to an operating mechanism of the endoscope including an operating lever, the joint member including: a first cylindrical portion provided on a longitudinal rear end side of the joint member, a part of the first cylindrical portion being plastically deformed through pressurization to deform a part of the through hole such that the wire is fixed; and a second cylindrical portion provided on a front end side of the first cylindrical portion and having an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the first cylindrical portion. The part of the first cylindrical portion plastically deformed is separated from the second cylindrical portion.

A 4-way indent tool includes a indenter actuator cam arm being movable between an unactuated position and an actuated position to actuate four indenters to crimp a terminal. The 4-way indent tool includes a drive assembly movable along the drive screw between a retracted position and an advanced position. The drive assembly has a drive nut on a drive screw and a coupler operably coupled between the drive nut and the indenter actuator cam arm. The coupler moves the indenter actuator cam arm. The coupler has a spring loaded coupling between the drive nut and the indenter actuator cam arm compressed as the coupler is moved between the retracted position and the advanced position.

A data line or cable, in particular a high frequency line, has a hollow conductor, which is formed from a conductive material, and surrounds a cavity. A crimp is fastened to the hollow conductor, which crimp is pressed onto the hollow conductor, and the material is displaced into the cavity. The problem addressed is that of specifying a line that is provided with a crimp and that has the best possible transmission properties.

A cable compression die assembly is used in connection with a compression tool for compressing a stranded cable prior to crimping. The cable compression die assembly includes a pair of cable compression die heads for receiving a stranded cable and a cable connector therebetween. The pair of cable compression die heads defines a hexagonal shaped opening therebetween and is adapted to substantially close the hexagonal shaped opening as the die heads move towards one another.

A crimp tool calibration system for crimping a prepared wire into a corresponding contact wire barrel includes a computer, a positioner having a memory chip storing positioner data, and a tool frame. The tool frame includes a head having a receiving port therethrough, and configured for the positioner to be removably engaged with the receiving port during a crimping operation. The tool frame also includes a plurality of crimping dies positioned around a periphery of the receiving port, an adjustment device to adjust a crimp depth, and a positioner interface coupled to the tool frame. The positioner interface includes a tool memory for storing tool data, a reader, and a transmitter, where the reader is configured to read the positioner data stored on the memory chip of the positioner, and the transmitter is configured to transmit the positioner data and the tool data to the computer.

A crimping tool including a main body, a force-applying device, and at least two crimping jaws for crimping a crimping connection to a conductor. The at least two crimping jaws are moveable relative to the main body by the force-applying device, and a compensating device which allows adoption of at least three processing positions of the at least two crimping jaws depending on a position of the force-applying device relative to the compensating device. A force storage means is arranged on the main body and allows, in a processing position of the at least two crimping jaws, in particular in which substantially no force can be transmitted to the at least two crimping jaws by the force-applying device, a force-locking connection to be made between the crimping connection and the at least two crimping jaws by a movement of the at least two crimping jaws relative to the main body.
