IDC Push Down Tool Used forThis IDC push-down tool is essential for anyone needing to attach cable to sockets with IDC terminals, such as those on BT telephone sockets and RJ45 face plates. It is ideal for smaller jobs where only one or two face plates need wiring up, if you have lots of connections to wire up please look in our shop at the other IDC tools that we have. IDC or Insulation Displacement Connectors are used in a variety of low current applications such as telecommunications, networking and PC internals. The idea is that the specially shaped connector traps the wire very tightly using tiny sprung blades. As a result, the terminal makes a secure, gas-tight connection for signal transfer, cuts through the plastic insulation and grips the wire, all in the single movement of pushing the wire into the terminal. The resulting connection is extremely reliable if fitted properly, as well as being quicker and cleaner than a separate stripping and soldering process, as the wires core has essentially been sealed in the insulation, never exposed to dirt or contaminants, until the moment it is driven into the connector. At which point, only the bare minimum of the insulation needed to make the connection is removed, making it a very clean solution, which only contributes to its reliability. Why would I need this tool?The channels in the contacts are so small, and the contacts are so close together, it is easy to damage them by attempting to force the wires in using an inappropriate tool.
