Weidmüller is expanding its assortment of screwdrivers with an angled spring opener, a hexalobular socket (Torx®) screwdriver with T-handles and bits, a plus/minus screwdriver with interchangeable blades and a Robertson (square tipped) screwdriver, to meet industry demands.
Using the angled spring opener makes it easier to reach tension clamp terminals mounted in confined spaces such as in distribution cabinets. To achieve this, the blade is curved at an angle of 40°, a design feature that also simplifies handling. The angled spring opener is a useful tool with which to open the tension clamp of terminal blocks from Weidmüller’s Z-Series, MICROSERIES and TERMSERIES.
The Hexalobular socket (Torx®) screwdriver with T-handles and bits offers compelling levels of comfort, because the user is able to engage the deep-seated screw much more easily with the screwdriver. This reduces the risk of damaging the screw head profile.
With screws with plus/minus heads being increasingly used in the electronics sector, such as in relay bases requiring low torques or in surge protection modules requiring higher torques, there has been an increase in market demand for plus/minus screwdrivers and interchangeable blades. The Weidmuller plus/minus screwdrivers come in two blade lengths – 80mm and 100mm. The new Robertson (square tipped) screwdriver that has been added to the portfolio fulfils requirements in NAFTA countries, where square socket screws are often used.
As VDE insulated screwdrivers, the new plus/minus screwdriver with interchangeable blades and the Robertson screwdriver are certified for work on live components up to 1000 VAC and 1500 VDC in accordance with DIN EN 60900, IEC 900.
