The CAT-HT-281-2430-13 is a straight action Hand Tool for use with IPDI series C-281 30 to 24AWG terminals. It features fixed die (crimper), movable die (anvil), locator and ratchet. The locator positions the contact and limits the insertion distance of the stripped wire into the contact. The ratchet assures full crimping of the contact. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the dies have been fully closed. It is designed to crimp CC81 series contacts for the S2SD, S2SDT and MPCC as well as T1M82-R and T1M82-L series contacts for the T2SD and T2SDT tiger eye series.
