- Backshell ToolingThe evolution of circular connectors has produced a multitude of configurations which have more precise dimensional tolerances and electrical characteristics than any other mechanical component used in modern electrical systems. The associated tooling must meet the same level of precision to apply the connector to its intended purpose. Until now, very little attention has been focused on the tooling which is used to mount strain-relief backshells and other accessories to wired connector assemblies. This is why the BETA® system was developed.
- Banding ToolsThe termination of EMI/RFI shielding materials is a specialised science in today’s aerospace wiring systems. Application tooling is a critical factor in the overall performance of the wiring system components. DMC has worked closely with the world’s leading connector accessory manufacturers and standards organisations to develop the necessary tooling and accessories to meet the stringent demands of aerospace and defence system contractors. The resulting products afford the user a repeatable and reliable means of terminating shielding on aerospace wiring systems. Tooling is available for all bands qualified to AS85049/128
- Battery Crimp ToolsCrimp-Tech Australia has a range of battery operated crimp tools to crimp a wide range of contacts, terminals and splices . We believe the following information and data will answer your questions. If not please contact us for personalized service. Working on today’s electrical connections calls for increased mobility and repeatable, consistent crimping force so we offer a wide range of battery powered crimp tools designed to integrate with your current tooling systems. These battery powered tools offer the mobility of a hand tool without sacrificing the power of pneumatic tools. In the field or on the factory floor, every tool crimps with the consistency and precision you expect from DMC products. The ergonomic tool body helps reduce workplace injuries and eases operator fatigue keeping costs low and production high. DMC battery powered tools have been engineered to work with our existing die series and compliment our established crimp tool lines. And, as always, if we don’t have a die to meet your needs, we will engineer and manufacture it for you. So if your workload is too much for hand tools, or pneumatic hoses and power cables are unwelcome, unsafe or impractical for the work environment, a battery powered…

- Crimp Tool GaugesWith the need to ensure that your tooling die sets, positioners, turret heads and also the indent crimp tools is in calibration and conforms to the required standards, DMC have a large range of GO NO-GO Gauges available for a variety of applications. If you do not know the required GO NO-GO gauge please contact us for assistance.
- Cutting & Stripping ToolsCable preparation is an essential part of wiring system practices, and have the right tool to prepare our cable for crimping of contacts, terminals or lugs is critical. It is important not to damage the insulation on conductors, cable shielding or damage the copper or fibre that will be transmitting the signal down you cable.
- DMC Tool KitsBuilding a tool kit to service an entire wiring system involves extensive research to select to correct tooling and ensure all serviceable connectors, terminals, splices and contacts are covered. Technicians who are responsible for the maintenance or production of entire systems cannot be expected to know all the answers, nor do they have the time to do the necessary research or locate tooling. Crimp-Tech and DMC has this knowledge and does the technical research for them.
- Hand Crimp ToolsCrimp-Tech Australia offers a range of Military and Commercial Hand Crimp Tools. Here you will find a range of these products, if the particular tool you are looking for is not listed please contact us.

- Insertion/Removal ToolsDMC is dedicated to serving the connector tooling needs of the electronics industry. We, therefore, top off our product package with a wide variety of installing and removal tools. Although we supply both plastic and metal tools, we recommend the use of the metal tools because of their durability. When used properly they are more cost effective in that they withstand thousands of contact insertion and removal cycles. The trend to all metals tools is being actively encouraged by most departments of the government. DMC installing and removal tools are of proven high quality and reliability. In addition to the tools listed in these reference table, we have many more for other connector applications. Please contact us for more details.

Adaptor Tools

The central element of the Daniels Manufacturing Corporation connector accessory tool product line is the adaptor tool. This unique device is configured in such a manner as to mate perfectly with the corresponding circular connector keying pattern. It, therefore, can be used to hold the connector in a stationary position while the accessory components are being installed or removed. Many keying arrangements and shell sizes are utilized in high reliability wiring systems and great care must be exercised when selecting and using the adaptor tool. DMC has made great effort to combine the most possible applications into each adaptor tool design, thereby minimizing the tool requirements for overall system support. Many other important benefits are designed into DMC adaptor tools.

SINGLE TOOL FOR MULTIPLE KEYING POSITIONS

When multiple keying positions exist within a specific shell size (diameter), DMC engineers have designed each adaptor tool to accommodate as many variations as possible. Most adaptors will mate with six or more connectors having different keying positions. When compared with dummy receptacles or other connector holding devices, this flexibility is not possible.

MULTIPLE KEY ENGAGEMENTS

The critical platings and delicate nature of connector keys are a prime consideration in the design of a secure connector holding system. Therefore, in all cases where the basic connector configuration permits, multiple key engagement is utilized. This allows torque to be applied to a greater surface are and over a larger portion of the circumference of the connector.

ADAPTORS ARE AVAILABLE FOR BOTH PLUGS AND RECEPTACLES

Recepticle & Plug The rotating coupling mechanism found on most plug connectors is the primary adaptor tool design; however, many users currently realize the benefits of adaptor tools when assembling or servicing receptacle connectors. DMC has both versions available for most circular connector series.

STANDARD SQUARE DRIVE MOUNTING

All DMC Adaptor tools are made with a standard square drive (either 3.8″ or 1/4″) socket for easy utilization with common torque measuring devices or other tooling. This eliminates the need for special mounting fixtures or other considerations common to the use of dummy receptacles and similar equipment.

SIMPLE ORIENTATION TO THE CONNECTOR

All adaptor tools have an indicator (dot) which visually orients it with the master key on the connector. This enables the user to orient the two components for mating without trial and error fumbling.

ECONOMICAL, RELIABLE, AND AVAILABLE

There is not a precision system for holding circular connectors available anywhere which is more economical, reliable, or readily available to meet your needs that the DMC adaptor tools.
