The multi-pin locator line also includes 8758 2202 0 and 8758 2204 0 for multi-pin contact crimping processes. The special design of these models allows simultaneous positioning of multiple connector pins, reducing assembly time. Elastic spring plungers ensure each pin is held firmly throughout the pressing operation.

Universal locators

Universal locators are compatible with many crimping systems and different connector types. Model 8720 1801 0 is suitable for small batch production and prototypes, reducing accessory investment costs. Code 8750 1701 0 is compatible with DigiCrimp, MicroCrimp, HC 20 and CM 25-3. Locators 8758 2100 0 and 8758 2101 0 comply with AS22520/1-05 standard, ensuring high precision when determining crimping position on contacts and electrical connectors.

Dedicated locators by connector system

Some locators are designed specifically for each specific connector system. Choosing the right model according to connector standard helps increase precision and reduce error rates in production. Dedicated lines meet the technical requirements of each connector manufacturer.

Locators for Intercontec connectors

The locator range for Intercontec connectors serves short pins and small sizes. Code 8750 0812 0 uses a patented locking mechanism, ensuring pins are held fixed throughout the crimping operation. Model 8720 0712 0 serves M17/M23 signal pins with small diameter. Locator 8720 0709 0 supports precise positioning of short, compact contact pins from Intercontec manufacturer.

This dedicated line helps reduce positional deviation when working with small-sized pins. The fixed locking mechanism ensures pins do not shift during the crimping process. The models are compatible with many M17, M23, M27 and M40 connector sizes.

Locators for D-Sub connectors

Locator 8720 0702 0 serves D-Sub connector assembly. The device supports precise positioning of short, compact pins before crimping. The fixed locking mechanism holds pins stable throughout the pressing operation. This model is suitable for industrial electronics and telecommunications applications.

Standards and compatibility

Rennsteig crimp tool locators comply with many international standards. Meeting technical standards ensures compatibility with global production systems. Users need to check required standards before choosing a suitable model.

MIL/SAE AS22520 standard applies to many single and universal locator models. Grades from AS22520/2-02 to AS22520/2-10 serve aerospace applications. AS22520/7 standard is for multi-pin locators in multi-contact connectors. AS22520/1-05 standard applies to universal locators compatible with many crimping tool systems. Models complying with this standard ensure high precision and good repeatability in batch production.

Regarding crimping tool system compatibility, many locators work with DigiCrimp, Selector Crimp, MicroCrimp, HC 20 and CM 25-3 crimping heads. Some models require adapter rings to attach to crimping tools. Users need to confirm compatibility between locator, adapter ring and crimping tool before use. Spring plunger design in many models ensures stable working capability with different tool lines.

How to choose a suitable locator

Choosing a suitable locator depends on connector type, number of pins to be positioned and existing crimping tool system. Users need to clearly identify project technical requirements before deciding. Factors to consider include compliance standards, pin size and production volume.

For small batch production or prototypes, universal locators such as 8720 1801 0 or 8750 1701 0 help reduce investment costs. When working with a specific connector type in batch production, dedicated locators provide higher precision. Aerospace applications require AS22520-compliant models such as codes in the 8738 and 8728 lines. Multi-pin connectors need multi-pin locators to reduce assembly time and increase uniformity.

Usage notes

Crimp tool locators need to be kept clean and dry to maintain precision. Spring plungers need periodic inspection to ensure stable elastic force. Operators must confirm the locator is securely attached to the crimping tool before performing the crimping operation. Using the wrong locator can cause pin positional deviation and damage the connector.

When working with small pins, pins need to be placed into the locator carefully to avoid deformation. Pins should not be forced into the locator if the size does not match. After each production shift, the locator should be cleaned to remove dirt and metal debris. Storing the locator in a sealed box helps avoid impact and oxidation of contact surfaces.

The Rennsteig crimp tool locator range provides precise positioning solutions for many types of industrial connectors. Choosing the right model according to technical requirements and production system helps increase joint quality and reduce error rates. Users can refer to detailed information for each product code to make decisions suitable for specific projects.
