WTST-dV 2.5 kN Pull Tester

Our entry-level Wire Terminal Strength Tester (WTST-dV 2.5 kN) provides a cost-effective solution for performing pull-out tests on crimped, soldered or ultrasonically-welded joints.

International test standards generally stipulate that terminals must be pulled to destruction at a uniform pull speed of between 25 to 50 mm/min, which requires the use of a motorised test system.

The WTST-dV 2.5 kN ensures that these requirements are met, providing high accuracy with repeatability and reliability of results.

Peak pull-off loads are measured using the Advanced Force Gauge (AFG) available in 10 capacities to suit AWG sizes from 4 to 40.

Key features

•  Press a single button to start the pull out test
•  Automatic return at break saves testing time
•  Clear colour display of pull off load and speed
•  Pass/fail indicator based on allowable limits

•  Suitable for wires with a maximum diameter of 7 mm (AWG 4 to 40) in crimp or splice formations
•  Suitable for typical tab sizes 2.8 to 9.5 mm wide
•  Rugged design with small footprint fits easily on any bench
