Tooling
Vantage connectors are designed for simple and reliable field termination. In most cases, no special tooling is required. Product data sheets specify tooling for each product.
Hand Crimp Tools
The AF and SF Series of explosion proof control attachment plug and receptacle connectors require crimp tools to terminate the connector to specification. Hand crimp tools provide an economical means to make reliable crimp terminations in the field. Pneumatic tooling is recommended for larger contacts and when a great number of terminations are required.
