Product Description ------------------- The PanaVise 506 IDC retrofit kit is an accessory kit that converts a Panavise 502 precision PanaPress (sold separately and required for use) into an insulation displacement connector (IDC) assembly press. The 506 IDC retrofit kit contains an IDC base for holding IDC base plates (sold separately), a ram adapter for applying even pressure across connectors (sold separately), a cable guide, ing screws, and an Allen wrench. From the Manufacturer --------------------- The PanaVise 506 IDC retrofit kit is an accessory kit that converts a Panavise 502 precision PanaPress (sold separately and required for use) into an insulation displacement connector (IDC) assembly press. The 506 IDC retrofit kit contains an IDC base for holding IDC base plates (sold separately), a ram adapter for applying even pressure across connectors (sold separately), a cable guide, ing screws, and an Allen wrench. An IDC assembly press is invaluable for independent repair technicians and in-house service departments in a variety of industry sectors, including computer networking, telephony, and electronics. It allows users to quickly and effectively press connectors onto wires, and cables eliminating the need to manually strip insulation, or to use handheld crimpers to attach connectors. It can also be used to make precision cuts of hard to manage flat ribbon cable prior to pressing length terminating connectors onto them. The PanaVise 506 IDC retrofit kit allows all these things to be done by harnessing the evenly distributed downward pressure of the PanaPress ram element. When combined with base plates designed for attaching to specific connectors, users can quickly terminate the ends of cables and wires with the connectors they need for the application at hand. Cutting flat ribbon cable is managed with the PanaVise 507 flat ribbon cable cutter (sold separately), which, like the base plates sits in the central opening of the ed 506 IDC retrofit kit and utilizes the downward pressure of the PanaPress ram element. Used in work scenarios where the length of wire needed is a known, the 506 IDC retrofit kit is designed for medium volume output, and eliminates possible damage to wire and cable known as the "scissor effect" that can occur in cutting and crimpings done by hand. It also helps prevent injuries to wrist, hands, nerves and tendons that can result from the repeated use of handheld tools for crimping and cutting of wire and cables. Insulation displacement connector (IDC) technology is designed around the application of internally bladed connectors to the ends of wires and cables that are then used to complete circuits used in low current applications. This efficient and time-saving method replaces earlier circuit connection methods that required the stripping of wires and soldering on connections. Connectors used in IDC applications are specific to wire types and gauges. When compressed, the internal blades in connectors pierce the insulation of the wire or the cable, making contact with the wire inside, maintaining conductivity through a combination of direct pressure and the vacuum that compression creates between the conductive material and the connector's blade.

About PanaVise -------------- Founded in 1957 by tool and die maker Otto Colbert and currently headquartered in Reno, Nevada, PanaVise is a leader in work-holding products. Over the years, a natural outgrowth of this expertise has been continued development of other items which hold things securely and offer a wide range of motion. Important areas in which this has been applied include, electronics, CCTV camera s, and audio/video s, earning PanaVise the nickname the "the hold it anywhere you want it company."
