KNIPEX, the specialist for pliers and high-quality hand tools, has expanded its product range with a new model in the PreciForce® series: the KNIPEX PreciForce® 97 52 42.
This tool is equipped with a newly developed crimping die designed specifically for processing photovoltaic connectors MC4 and MC4 EVO 2. It is the ideal tool for anyone who needs to create precise and reliable crimp connections in photovoltaic systems.
With the transition to renewable energy sources, photovoltaic systems are gaining importance. While workers from various trades are allowed to install these systems, the final connection to the power grid must be performed by certified electrical specialists. KNIPEX now offers the perfect solution for setting up and electrically connecting the solar modules: the KNIPEX PreciForce® 97 52 42 enables precise and reliable crimping of MC4 and MC4 EVO 2 crimp contacts.
The quality of crimp connections in PV systems is critical to the performance and efficiency of the entire system. With the KNIPEX PreciForce® 97 52 42, MC4 and MC4 EVO 2 crimp contacts are pressed precisely and securely onto the cables, minimizing power losses. The crimping insert and crimping pressure are precisely adapted to the connectors and cables being used, ensuring a long-lasting, mechanically and electrically stable connection. The PreciForce® 97 52 42 features an integrated locking mechanism, which ensures the tool only opens when the optimal crimping pressure is reached, protecting the user from mistakes and ensuring consistent crimp quality. If necessary, the locking mechanism can be manually released.
Like all crimping tools in the PreciForce® series, the 97 52 42 stands out for its high durability. Made from special grade chrome vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened, this tool is built to last. It comes factory-calibrated and is pre-set for 4 and 6 mm² cross-sections of MC4 and MC4 EVO 2 solar connectors.
The PreciForce® 97 52 42 is just one member of KNIPEX’s versatile PreciForce® family. Each tool in the series is designed for a specific application and equipped with a unique crimping insert, ensuring the right solution is available for every crimping task.
