RS definition of RoHS Compliance:
- The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,
- and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering
The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight:
| Substance | Concentration |
| Lead | 0.1% |
| Mercury | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE ( Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) | 0.1% |
| Hexavalent Chromium | 0.1% |
| Cadmium | 0.01% |
| DEHP (Bis (2-Ethylhexl) phthalate) | 0.1% |
| BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant".

General Support Tooling
Weidmuller PZ 10 Bootlace Ferrule Hex Crimp Tool
PZ 10 hex radial crimping tool for crimping wire end ferrules with or without plastic collars with a wire size range of 0.14 to 10mm2. With such a wide wire range in one tool the need to change tools is eliminated along with associated crimping errors. This PZ 10 hex crimp hand tool produces hexagonal crimps with a small diameter rounded crimp form making it ideal for confined clamping spaces. Hexagonal wire end ferrules provide a more secure connection than other crimping forms for screw, spring or direct-plug in clamping systems. Two crimping surfaces are always positioned in parallel to one another providing enough space to create a stable connection including direct plug-in connections. This PZ 10 crimp tool features a ratchet system which keeps the tool closed until the crimp is complete ensuring a consistent crimping quality. A release option is also incorporated in case of incorrect operation. The handles have an ergonomic design and do not spring open after crimping making the PZ 10 hand crimp tool safe and comfortable to use.
Features and Benefits:
• Wide crimping range of 0.14 to 10mm2 eliminates the need to change tools
• Meets DIN and UL standards for large cross-sections measuring from 0.14 mm² to 10 mm².
• Round shaped crimp shape with small diameter ideal for limited clamping space
• Ratchet mechanism guarantees consistent crimp quality
• Release option in the event of incorrect operation
• Ergonomically designed handles
Typical Applications:
• Maintenance & repair
• Electrical Installations
• Cable assemblies
FAQ’s:
What is the difference between un-insulated and insulated crimp tools?
Un-insulated crimp tools are typically used for general applications, whereas the insulated crimp tools have been VDE tested up to 1000 V, designed for use where electrical current is present.
How do you maintain the product?
• Axles and other movable parts should be regularly lubricated.
• Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to contaminants.
• Adjustment of the crimping die nests should also be checked. Readjustment of the pressure adjustment axle is necessary when the pre-load of the tool decreases significantly.
The Importance of a High-Quality Crimp
When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and terminal. The other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas-tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there any voids present, then corrosion can occur causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas-tight crimp is produced preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage.
