This system
allows checks that the correct tools
have been used when contact crimping
because the die number automatically
becomes embossed during the contact
crimping. possible, crimps should placed
next each other with couple mm
spacing between each one.
UL-approved terminals
KR/KS, KRF/KSF, KRFS, KRFN, KRT/KST
UL approved accordance with file no. For flexible
and stranded conductors, terminals
of type KR/KRF and through connectors
of type KS/KSF are used.

Crimp sequence for two crimps. The terminals are approved
for installations ships and mobile

General information about terminals
System Elpress
System Elpress consists terminals and
tools that are designed and tested to-
gether give certified crimping result. manufacture
tube terminals type KR/KRF/KRD/KRT,
through connectors type KS/KSF/KSD/
KST for stranded conductors, IEC 60228
class and multi-stranded conductors
IEC 60228 class such C-sleeves
primarily pre-splicing Cu-lines and
many customised products.
They can also used for straight splicing
of earth conductors. By
using Elpress Cu-connection elements to-
gether with one Elpress crimp systems
one obtains connection that has been
tested according the requirements of
IEC 61238:1.
This ensures that users will feel confi-
dent when using our systems, and that
a secure connection achieved through
the proper handling our products.
DNV-approved terminals
Elpress KR/KS, KRF/KSF and KRT/KST ter-
minals meet DNV’s rules for classification
of ships and Det Norske Veritas’Offshore
Standards. Terminals type
KRD/KRT and through connectors type
KSD/KST are normally used for stranded
Cu conductors from and including 500
mm².
Marking terminals

nals shows logotype, cable area and type

that another number crimps may be

Type No. Terminals type KR/KRF/KRD/
KRT are used mainly termination to

through connectors, type KS/KSF/KSD/

copper conductors cable assemblies.
Cu terminals
Elpress copper connectors are made of
