Crimping nest die Cimco 106013 5 mm² 1 pc

The Cimco 106013 crimping nest die is a single-piece replacement insert designed for crimping insulated and uninsulated cable ends with a maximum conductor cross-section of 5 mm². Intended for use with compatible crimping tools and presses, this nest die provides consistent deformation of the ferrule or terminal to form a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. The part is compact and crafted to match the geometry required for 5 mm² terminations, ensuring uniform crimps and reduced risk of loose or intermittent contacts.

Advantages

This crimping nest die delivers accurate and repeatable crimps for 5 mm² conductors, improving connection quality and installation reliability. Manufactured to fit compatible cimco tooling, it offers stable alignment and durable construction for repeated use. The single-piece design simplifies handling and replacement during maintenance or tool setup.

Suitable for

• Crimping ferrules and insulated or uninsulated terminals on cables up to 5 mm²
• Electrical installation and panel wiring tasks
• Maintenance and repair work on household and light commercial electrical equipment
• Workshops and service departments that use compatible crimping tools

Key specifications

• Maximum conductor cross-section: 5 mm²
• Unit: single piece (1 pc)
• Compatibility: designed for use with compatible cimco crimping tools and presses
• Function: fixed nest die for producing consistent crimps on terminals and ferrules
• Application: insulated and uninsulated terminals and ferrules for electrical connections

How to use

Install the nest die into the compatible crimping tool or press according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring proper seating and alignment. Prepare the conductor and terminal or ferrule by stripping insulation to the correct length and inserting the conductor fully into the terminal. Position the terminal and conductor into the nest die, actuate the crimping tool to perform the compression, then inspect the crimp for correct deformation and secure mechanical retention. Replace or service the die only when the tool is de-energized and following recommended safety procedures.

Recommendations

Use matching terminals and ferrules rated for 5 mm² conductors and verify compatibility with your specific cimco crimping tool model. Periodically inspect the die for wear or damage and maintain the tool according to manufacturer guidance to preserve crimp quality and ensure safe operation.
