Thomas and Betts Crimp and Termination tools are perfect for home and public EV charging station installations and repairs. From the infrastructure, to OEM manufacturing to the installation of the charging station to personal electric vehicle charging, Thomas and Betts offers all of the tools and materials needed such as heat shrink, cable ties and ty wraps (that are UV resistant to protect from the daily weather impact).

The TBM8-750BSCR / 272x300 is a great option if dieless crimps are acceptable to the installer as it can cover a range of 1/0 AWG to 750kcmil without having to change out dies since it is truly a dieless crimper. However, if a die code inspection is necessary, the TnB StaKon BAT22 is your next best solution. Additionally, 14 and 15-ton options are available and are available to purchase with this selection of crimping dies.

The Thomas & Betts ERG-4001 Comfort Crimp Sta-Kon hand tool is used for crimping RA, RB and RC nylon and vinyl insulated terminals, splices, and disconnects. It has three color-coded crimp nests: red for 22 AWG - 18 AWG wire, blue for 16 AWG - 14 AWG wire and yellow for 12 AWG - 10 AWG wire.

Heat-shrink tubing is a shrinkable plastic tube used to insulate wires, providing abrasion resistance and environmental protection for stranded and solid wire conductors, connections, joints and terminals in ev work. It can also be used to repair the insulation on wires or to bundle them together, to protect wires or small parts from minor abrasion, and to create cable entry seals, offering environmental sealing protection. Heat-shrink tubing is manufactured in a multitude of varieties and chemical makeups with the exact composition of each type being dependent on the intended application. From near microscopically-thin-wall tubing to rigid, heavy-wall tubing, each type has precise design and chemical additives that make it suitable for meeting any of a wide variety of environmental demands. Heat-shrink tubing is rated by its expansion ratio, a comparison of the differences in expansion and recovery rate.

A cable tie is a type of fastener, for holding items together, primarily EV electrical cables, and wires. Because of their low cost, ease of use, and binding strength, cable ties are ubiquitous, finding use in a wide range of other applications.
