tensile requirements
Tyco Electronics features
the AMP RTM Crimpband
system that is comprised of
two key features: the semi-
automatic termination
machine and a reel of RTM
Crimpband material.
In a one-step crimping
operation, the machine
feeds, cuts, forms and
crimps the material to
provide a low-cost, high
reliability crimp connection.
The RTM Crimpband
splices are formed during
the crimping process from
milled longitudinal groove
material that produce rolled,
rounded serrations.
They are designed to
terminate pre-stripped
stranded and solid wire
conductors together as well
as wire conductors to switch
tabs, resistors, printed
circuit board, flex circuit and
light bulb LED and glass
reed switch assemblies, etc.
The flexibility of the RTM
Crimpband system provides
opportunity for use in
custom applications for
either electrical and / or
mechanical connections.
Tyco Electronics provides a
wide range of toolset types
and crimpband splices to
meet various production
requirements.
Depending on your specific
application, RTM Crimpband
splices are available in 3, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10 14 and 20 ridge
serration versions for
terminations in the 170 to
13,000 CMA range.
