SF hand crimping tools for lugs and ferrules 0.25–150 mm²
Country: Spain · Model: SF
SF series hand pliers and crimping pliers crimp cable lugs, sleeves and ferrules of 0.25–150 mm² without hydraulics. They are used to terminate wires when assembling panels and cabinets, in building electrical installation, equipment servicing and solar power plant installation.

Description
There are three designs for non-insulated lugs. The ratchet SF-6D, SF-16D and SF-35D do not open until the cycle is complete, so an under-crimped lug is excluded, and the SF-16D makes indent punch crimping at 0.5–6 mm². The SF-70 and SF-120 form a hexagon on copper tubular lugs T, TL and TBE, 6–70 mm² for the SF-70, and the section is set by a revolver mechanism of dies made of wear-resistant steel. The SF-P70 and SF-P150 crimping pliers with aluminium handles make indent crimps on copper and aluminium, and the SF-P150 covers 10–150 mm² with screw adjustment. For ferrules there are the SF-6, the SF-42 mini pliers with self-adjustment, the SF-55 for 0.5–16 mm² and the ratchet SF-10W and SF-35W for 10–35 mm²; insulated lugs are crimped with the ratchet SF-6J for 0.5–6 mm². The TS-50, TS-70 and TS-95 electrician's scissors of stainless steel cut, strip and crimp, and the TS-95 cuts cable up to 95 mm² and strips insulation from wires of 0.34–6 mm² (AWG 22–10).
How to choose
The pliers are chosen by connector type, because the dies of the series are matched to lugs of the same make. An installer with connectors of different types will find it more convenient to take the SF-C set with five sets of interchangeable dies, which includes twin ferrules 2×(0.5–6) mm² and ferrules from 0.25 mm², or the SF-5 with five functions in one tool. Solid bimetal lugs are not crimped with these pliers; for them and for sections above 150 mm² a CH-13U or CH-20P hydraulic head is used.

FAQ
Which pliers should be used to crimp 35 mm² ferrules?
Use the ratchet SF-10W or SF-35W, which are designed for 10–35 mm². For ferrules up to 16 mm² the SF-55 is enough.
Can bimetal lugs be crimped with SF hand pliers?
No, the pliers of the series do not crimp solid bimetal lugs. They need hydraulics, for example the CH-20P head, which takes bimetal up to 630 mm².
How does the hexagonal crimping of the SF-70 differ from the indent crimping of the SF-P70?
The SF-70 forms a hexagon only on copper tubular lugs of 6–70 mm² and has revolver section selection. The SF-P70 makes indent crimps and works with both copper and aluminium.
Which pliers should be used to crimp the contacts of solar panel connectors?
The series has separate SF-MC4 pliers for solar connector contacts, and the cable is stripped before crimping with TS-95 scissors at 0.34–6 mm².
