Description

Measure wire crimp pull forces accurately and efficiently with the portable and customizable WT-205 tester. Easily apply up to 200 lbF (1,000 N) of force via an ergonomic lever. The tester’s standard adjustable terminal fixture contains multiple slots for diameters up to AWG 3 (0.25 in [6.3 mm]), while the self-tightening wedge grip securely clamps the free end of the cable.

A backlit graphic LCD displays real-time force, peak force, unit of measurement, and pass/fail indicators. Green and red pass/fail indicators may also be used. A load bar on the display shows when an overload is approaching.

Transfer data to a PC or other data collector via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs. The WT-205 stores up to 1,000 readings and calculates statistics. Upon sample break, the tester can automatically save and output the peak force and auto-zero in preparation for the next test, increasing testing efficiency.
