The AB TP5 portable hand‑operated component bending tool is designed for precise bending of leads on resistors, transistors, capacitors and other components. Bending distances can be set from 12 mm to 50 mm (0.473" to 1.968"), allowing use on a wide range of pitch sizes.
Key features include a micro‑screw adjuster for rapid distance setting, an adjustable arm for positioning the component body, an adjustable stop for consistent bend placement, and spring‑loaded gripping jaws that clamp the leads to prevent strain during bending. The tool is built from heavy‑duty metal with an enamel‑baked finish and tempered‑steel jaws for durability.
| Bending distance range | 12 mm – 50 mm |
|---|---|
| Construction material | Heavy‑duty metal with enamel‑baked finish |
| Bending jaws material | Tempered steel |
The component leads are clamped by the jaws during the bending operation, preventing strain at the junction where the leads join the body.
The bending jaws are constructed from tempered steel for durability and precision.
