The
Stäubli PV-CZM-60100 crimping pliers (Size 2) are the genuine manufacturer crimp tool for terminating
4mm², 6mm², and 10mm² solar cable with original MC4 and MC4-Evo 2 open crimp contacts. A single set of pliers accepts both connector families without swapping crimp dies — only the locator changes — making this the professional-grade choice for installers regularly working across the full range of mid-to-large PV cable cross-sections.

⚠ Open crimp contacts only
This tool is designed exclusively for open crimp (B-Crimp) contacts. It is not suitable for closed crimp contacts (used with PV-CZLX/6AWG tooling) or for MC4 barrel crimp contacts (which require the separate PV-CZM-63100 tool). Confirm your connector's contact style before purchase.
◆ Correct locator required for each connector family
This crimping tool ships with both the MC4 locator (PV-LOC-MC4 4/6/10) and the MC4-Evo 2 locator (PV-LOC-MC4‑Evo 2 4/6/10). The correct locator must be fitted for the connector type being crimped — using the wrong locator will not produce a certified crimp, even though the crimping die itself does not need to be changed between connector families.
ℹ Traceable crimp identification
Every crimp made with this tool leaves a registered crimp die identifier imprinted on the terminal, recording the conductor cross-section, crimp height, and crimp width. This provides verifiable evidence years later that the original Stäubli tool and correct settings were used.
One Tool, Two Connector Families
The same crimping pliers and die serve both MC4 and MC4-Evo 2 open crimp contacts — only the drop-in locator changes, so there's no need to carry separate crimping tools for each connector range.
TÜV Rheinland and UL Certified
Certified to TÜV Rheinland and UL standards, meeting the quality bar required for connectors used in certified, insurable PV installations.
Guaranteed 10,000+ Crimp Cycles
Built to withstand at least 10,000 installation cycles, giving professional installers a tool that holds its crimp geometry accuracy over a long working life.
Registered Crimp Traceability
A visible crimp die identifier is left on every terminal, recording cross-section, height, and width — useful during commissioning checks, O&M audits, or warranty claims.
Wide Cross-Section Coverage
Covers 4mm², 6mm², and 10mm² cable in one tool, spanning the most common mid-to-large residential and small commercial PV string cable sizes.
Consistent, Repeatable Crimp Geometry
Precision-machined dies and locators ensure each crimp meets the same height and width tolerance as the last, reducing the risk of high-resistance joints from inconsistent hand-crimping.

Does this tool work with both MC4 and MC4-Evo 2 connectors?
Yes. The same crimping pliers and crimping die are used for both connector families — only the locator insert changes, and both the MC4 and MC4-Evo 2 locators are supplied with this tool.
What cable sizes does this crimping tool cover?
This Size 2 configuration covers 4mm², 6mm², and 10mm² cable (equivalent to 12 AWG, 10 AWG, and 8 AWG).
Can this tool crimp closed crimp or barrel crimp contacts?
No. This tool is designed specifically for open crimp (B-Crimp) contacts. Closed crimp contacts require the separate PV-CZLX/6AWG tool, and MC4 barrel crimp contacts require the PV-CZM-63100 tool.
How do I know a crimp was made with the genuine Stäubli tool?
Every crimp made with this tool leaves a visible, registered crimp die identifier on the terminal, recording the cross-section, height, and width used — this mark is only produced by genuine Stäubli crimping tools.
Is this tool suitable for professional daily use?
Yes. It is TÜV Rheinland and UL certified and guaranteed for at least 10,000 installation cycles, making it suitable for full-time professional installers as well as occasional use.
