The KRONE LSA-PLUS® contacts (below) consist of a contact slot (2) with flexible contact arms (3). These are arranged at 45° to the axis of the wire.
The wire (4) is pressed by the Insertion Tool (5) into the contact slot (2) cutting through the conductor insulation.
By displacement of the insulation and the constant torsional restoring force (6,7) of the flexible contact arms, two permanent gas tight contact points are created with the conductor.
The clamping ribs (1) tightly grip the wire on both sides of the contact, ensuring the mechanical integrity of the connection.
In one simple movement the Insertion Tool (5) terminates the wire and trims it to the correct length.

Effects of KRONE contact on wire (A): Positioning contacts at a 45° angle leaves more wire between contact points and provides a more reliable, stress-resistant connection.
Effects of other contacts on wire (B): Positioning contacts at a 90° angle produces a point of weakness subject to breakage.
