KNIPEX 97 59 63 PC 3 Locator for Phoenix Contact

KNIPEX 97 59 63 PC 3 Locator for Phoenix Contact
KNIPEX 97 59 63 PC3 (Locator for Phoenix Contact) is a professional-grade locator accessory from Germany, manufactured for use with KNIPEX four-mandrel crimping pliers model 97 52 63, specifically used for crimping turned contacts. This accessory locks and supports the position of Phoenix Contact connector pins, especially the RC series, at maximum precision while squeezing the pliers. This ensures even 4-way pressure distribution and flawless metal crimping without pin distortion or tilting out of position during operation. Supports wire capacities from 0.08 to 2.5 mm² (AWG 28–14). Constructed from industrial-grade metal materials with high durability against repetitive pressing cycles, ideal for technicians assembling connector wiring harnesses in automation systems or machinery electrical systems requiring international-standard precision.
