Ratcheted Crimper 22-12 AWG

The Eclipse 300-005 is a manual ratchet crimper built for terminating uninsulated open-barrel contacts across a 22 to 10 AWG wire range. It accepts AMP-style pins, D-sub contacts and Molex terminals with consistent crimp pressure. A deluxe cushion grip reduces hand fatigue during repetitive bench or field work. The tool measures nine inches in overall length.

Suited for open-barrel termination.

Technicians assembling harnesses with loose pin contacts will find the ratchet mechanism ensures full-cycle crimps on uninsulated terminals. The tool does not handle insulated connectors, so buyers needing to crimp nylon or vinyl-insulated splices should select a different die profile. It also lacks integrated wire stripping or cutting jaws, requiring separate preparation tools.

Crimping capacity 10 AWG maximum

The largest wire the Eclipse 300-005 accommodates is 10 AWG, setting the upper limit for power-contact work. The calibrated ratchet releases only after the correct compression is reached for each supported gauge down to 22 AWG. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to materials used in the tool's construction.

Questions about this item

Will the ratchet mechanism need lubrication to keep the crimp cycle smooth?

The tool has no user-serviceable lubrication points; keep the pivot and ratchet clean of debris and wipe the cushioned grips with a dry cloth.

What wire size will the 10 AWG die struggle with during repeated crimps?

The 10 AWG upper limit is the first to show wear; sustained use at maximum capacity can deform the die profile faster than smaller gauges.

How hot do the handles get when crimping 12 AWG all day?

The deluxe cushion grips stay cool to the touch; the steel frame absorbs the work heat, so handle temperature remains comfortable during continuous use.
