Reliable Crimping for Insulated Electrical Terminals
Insulated crimp terminals are widely used in electrical installations to connect conductors to equipment terminals, wiring assemblies and electrical components. A properly formed crimp helps establish mechanical retention and electrical contact between the conductor and the terminal barrel. Using an appropriate crimping tool is important because insufficient compression can result in a loose connection, while excessive or incorrectly positioned compression may damage the conductor or terminal.
The Partex CT15 is designed to assist with the installation of compatible insulated terminals by applying mechanical crimping pressure through its crimping mechanism. This makes it a practical tool for electrical control panel assembly, equipment wiring and maintenance tasks involving insulated terminal connections. The tool should be matched to the terminal type and conductor size, rather than selected solely on the basis of the terminal's insulation colour.
For dependable results, installers should select a compatible terminal and prepare the conductor to the correct stripping length. The conductor should be fully inserted into the terminal barrel, and the terminal positioned correctly within the tool's designated crimping area before compression. The completed termination should be inspected for correct crimp formation, secure conductor retention and undamaged insulation. Any applicable manufacturer instructions and installation standards should be followed. The CT15 should not be assumed suitable for uninsulated heavy-duty copper tube lugs, ferrules or other terminal types unless their compatibility is specifically confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex CT15 used for?
The Partex CT15 is a manual crimping tool designed for installing compatible insulated electrical terminals and connectors onto suitable conductors. It is intended for electrical wiring, control panel assembly, equipment manufacturing and maintenance applications.
What types of terminals can the Partex CT15 crimp?
The CT15 is intended for compatible insulated crimp terminals. Depending on the terminal manufacturer's compatibility requirements, these may include insulated ring, fork, spade and push-on terminals. The terminal type and conductor size should be checked against the tool's specified crimping capability before use.
Does the Partex CT15 require an electrical power supply?
No. The Partex CT15 is a manually operated crimping tool and does not require an external electrical supply for normal crimping operations.
Can the Partex CT15 be used for copper tube cable lugs?
The CT15 is identified as an insulated terminal crimp tool. Heavy-duty copper tube cable lugs generally require crimping equipment and dies specifically matched to their conductor size and barrel construction. The CT15 should not be used for these terminals unless compatibility is expressly confirmed by the manufacturer.
How do I achieve a reliable crimp using the Partex CT15?
Select a compatible insulated terminal and conductor, strip the cable to the appropriate length and insert the conductor fully into the terminal barrel. Position the terminal in the correct crimping area of the CT15 and complete the crimp according to the applicable instructions. Inspect the finished connection to confirm secure conductor retention, correct crimp formation and undamaged insulation.
Is the Partex CT15 suitable for electrical panel building and maintenance?
Yes. The Partex CT15 is suitable for electrical panel building, wiring assembly and maintenance tasks involving compatible insulated crimp terminals. Its manual operation makes it practical for both workshop and on-site electrical installation work.
