crimpers / crimp tools / crimp connectors


Explanation:
Typically, the metals are joined together via a special connector. Stripped wire (often stranded) is inserted through the correctly sized opening of the connector, and a crimper is used to tightly squeeze the opening against the wire. Depending on the type of connector used, it may be attached to a metal plate by a separate screw or bolt or it could be simply screwed on using the connector itself to make the attachment like an F connector.
Obtaining a good crimp requires using carefully engineered crimp tools and crimp connectors, and following the procedures specified by the manufactures. Examples of these procedures can be obtained from Molex,[1] TE Connectivity,[2] and other similar companies.
