The MPT-500 Crimp Terminal Pull Test instrument available from the company is a portable tensile-strength pull tester used to certify the quality of crimp-on solderless lug, ring, funnel barrel, tongue, and spade terminals to wire. The tool uses a hand-held ratchet-action tester to make destructive pull type force measurements to crimp-on terminals terminated to wire, exerting up to 200-lb force. The digital readout displays the exact fail force point in 1/2-in high digits. According to the company, the tester provides an excellent way to verify production for SPC and other quality assurance programs in OEM and maintenance applications. MidTel Technologies, Inc.
