The Deutsch solid contact series is designed for use with larger wire sizes in heavy duty applications. This style of contact is manufactured using a cold heading process and solid copper alloy wire. The resulting contact is a closed entry design. The standard finish is nickel, with gold plating as an option. All Deutsch terminals protect the split socket tines with a closed entry stainless steel sleeve. This high quality, precision tool creates a weatherproof 8 indent crimp on any 12, 16, 20 contact size pin or socket. The crimper is fully adjustable and the ratcheting release system ensures a perfect crimp every time.
