KNIPEX 97 59 63 Locator PC Series for Phoenix Contact

KNIPEX 97 59 63 PC Series Locator for Phoenix Contact
KNIPEX 97 59 63 PC (Locator for Phoenix Contact) is an industrial-grade contact pin positioning system (Locator) from Germany. Designed as a primary accessory for use with KNIPEX Four-Mandrel Crimping Pliers model 97 52 63, this series has been specially developed to crimp turned contacts from the world-renowned connector brand Phoenix Contact. Its essential function is to securely lock, support, and align the pin's depth precisely in the center of the crimp nest, preventing bent pins, tilted pins, or crimps that fail to meet standard depth requirements. Supporting wire capacities from 0.08 to 2.5 mm² (AWG 28–14), it is manufactured from special-grade metal using high-precision machining for long-lasting durability against repetitive pressing. It is a vital tool in the assembly of signal and power wire harnesses for electrical control cabinets, industrial robotics, and automation systems demanding maximum electrical conductivity stability and safety.
