Pressing jaws for crimping pliers

Two pressing jaws (6, 7), arranged opposite each other and being configured for arrangement in crimping pliers (1), wherein the pressing jaws (6, 7) each have a base body and ribs (29, 31) running in a rib longitudinal direction and disposed in the base body, the ribs being configured to interleave with each other during pressing of the jaws toward each other, wherein when viewed perpendicular to the rib longitudinal direction (R), the ribs are substantially triangular each rib has an outer rib front face (30) running perpendicular to a width of the base body (28) and perpendicular to the rib longitudinal direction (R), wherein further starting from the rib front face (30), a pressing direction front face facing the opposite pressing jaw extending in the rib longitudinal direction (R) decreases in the direction of the base body (28) and forms an oblique angle with the base body, wherein one of the two pressing iaws has a guide surface (F) running transversely to the rib longitudinal direction (R) outside of a an interleaving region of the ribs and the other of the two pressing jaws has a guide protrusion (38), the guide surface cooperating with the guide protrusion (38) to guide the pressing jaws during opening and closing, and wherein the guide surface is disposed on an end region of one or more of the ribs of the one pressing jaw or on a guide protrusion of the other pressing jaw,

• wherein the guide protrusion (38) comprises at least one guide protrusion on each pressing iaw, and each guide protrusion is connected to the respective base body to form a guide in the rib longitudinal direction, the protrusions having a length in a closing direction (r) of the pressing jaws, which substantially corresponds to a length observed in a same direction of the ribs (29 or 31) arranged on the associated base body (28), wherein each protrusion (38) extends transversely to the rib longitudinal direction over a dimension which is less than a width of an arrangement of all of the ribs (29, 31) on the associated base body.
