PanaVise IDC Retrofit Kit for 502 Precision PanaPress

Discover the PanaVise 506 IDC Retrofit Kit, a robust and versatile accessory kit designed to transform your Panavise 502 Precision PanaPress into an efficient Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) assembly press. This high-quality retrofit kit is a reliable solution for independent repair technicians and in-house service departments across various industries, including computer networking, telephony, and electronics.

The kit includes an IDC base for securely holding IDC base plates, a ram adapter for applying uniform pressure across connectors, a cable guide, mounting screws, and an Allen wrench. With this kit, you can effortlessly press connectors onto wires and cables, eliminating the need for manual insulation stripping or handheld crimpers.

The PanaVise 506 IDC Retrofit Kit also enables precision cuts of challenging flat ribbon cables before pressing length terminating connectors onto them. This is achieved by harnessing the evenly distributed downward pressure of the PanaPress ram element. When used with base plates designed for specific connectors, you can quickly terminate the ends of cables and wires with the necessary connectors for your specific application.

For cutting flat ribbon cables, the PanaVise 507 flat ribbon cable cutter can be used in conjunction with the 506 IDC Retrofit Kit. This combination ensures a clean cut without the "scissor effect" that can occur with manual cutting and crimping. It also helps prevent potential injuries to the wrist, hands, nerves, and tendons from repeated use of handheld tools.

The IDC technology, central to this kit, is designed around the application of internally bladed connectors to the ends of wires and cables. This efficient and time-saving method replaces traditional circuit connection methods that required wire stripping and soldering. The connectors used in IDC applications are specific to wire types and gauges, ensuring a secure and reliable connection every time.

In summary, the PanaVise 506 IDC Retrofit Kit is a durable, reliable, and versatile tool that enhances the functionality of your PanaPress, making it an invaluable addition to your toolbox.
