Electronics Tools

Electronics diagonal cutters provide small cutting heads for wire work. Engineering Supplies offers Phoenix Contact MICROFOX models with round and tapered head shapes, so you can compare access around the workpiece.

First, identify the wire material and diameter. Then choose the head shape and cutting capacity for the task.

Electronics diagonal cutters in this range

• MICROFOX-SB_DB: round head, no chamfer and an opening spring.
• MICROFOX-SP_DB: tapered head angled at 21 degrees, no chamfer and an opening spring.

Check wire hardness and access

The MICROFOX-SB_DB lists cutting diameters of 0.2–2.0mm for soft wire, 1.2mm for medium-hard wire and 0.5mm for hard wire. Therefore, check wire hardness as well as diameter before selecting the cutter.

The MICROFOX-SP_DB has a different head shape. However, use its own product data to confirm capacity for the wire you intend to cut.

Also, compare the space around the cut and the direction of approach. The tapered, angled head and the round head offer different access arrangements.

Next, check the selected model’s instructions for use and care. Finally, quote PC1212805 or PC1212806 when matching the corresponding model.
