Crimping connectors: connections in ELETOR devices

It’s been a while since we shared footage from our production, and the statistics show that these videos are very popular.

We enjoy showing you these glimpses, because they offer the best insight into the behind-the-scenes of our everyday work — the small technical steps that later come together to make finished ELETOR devices.

In the video, we show the crimping process: attaching connectors to wires by crimping them in place. This is one way of making electrical connections without soldering, used wherever repeatability, durability and reliable electrical contact matter.

During this process, the metal connector is mechanically crimped onto the wire strand. A properly made connection provides suitable electrical conductivity and mechanical stability, which directly affects the reliability of subsequent assembly.

The wires prepared in this way can then be used to connect electronic circuit boards, modules, connectors, switches and other components inside ELETOR devices.

This is one of those production steps that usually goes unseen in the finished product — but its quality is hugely important to the operation of the entire device.
