Ideal Industries 30-506 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the IDEAL 30-506 Crimpmaster come with any dies?
No. The 30-506 is the frame only, so you order the die set separately based on what you're terminating. The frame accepts more than 15 different die sets covering RF connectors, wire terminals and modular plugs, and dies swap out with a screwdriver.
2) Can one crimp frame handle coax connectors, terminals and RJ45 plugs on the same job?
That's the point of the Crimpmaster 30-506 frame. It is compatible with over 15 different die sets spanning RF connectors, wire terminals and modular plugs, so a low voltage tech carries one handle and swaps dies with a screwdriver instead of carrying three separate tools.
3) I already own a Crimpmaster die set. Can I just buy the handle?
That's exactly what the 30-506 is. It is sold as the frame only, so if you already stock Crimpmaster dies you can replace a worn or lost handle without rebuying dies. Dies mount with a screwdriver, no press or service needed.
4) Is the IDEAL 30-506 a ratcheting crimper or a plain compression tool?
It's a ratcheting tool. The ratchet cycles the jaws to full compression and releases only when the crimp is complete, which is what gives a consistent crimp every time rather than depending on how hard the installer squeezes. That matters on terminations being inspected or pull tested.
5) Can the crimp depth be adjusted if the crimp is coming out loose or over-compressed?
Yes. The Crimpmaster frame has an adjustable cam for fine adjustments to the crimping cycle, so you can tune the closure if a particular die and connector combination is crimping light or bottoming out too hard.
6) What is the exact part number to order the IDEAL Crimpmaster frame?
IDEAL Industries part number 30-506, the Crimpmaster Ratchet Crimp Tool frame only. Distributors and purchasing agents should note this number covers the handle assembly alone, with the die ordered as a separate line item.
7) Is the 30-506 built for daily production work or occasional use?
It's a heavy duty professional hand held ratcheting crimper with comfort grip contoured handles, so it's intended for repeated use by techs doing volume terminations rather than a once-a-year tool. The contoured handles reduce hand fatigue across a long run of crimps.
