DESCRIPTION

SKU 1633966-1 is a crimp tooling component used in wire termination processes to achieve precise crimping of wire and barrel assemblies. The tooling is designed to maintain critical dimensional parameters including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW), which directly influence the area index (AI) performance of the crimp joint. Typical design specifications include a nominal crimp height of 0.073 inches, crimp width of 0.110 inches, crimper leg taper of 3.0 degrees, and anvil width of 0.109 inches, with a nominal anvil-to-crimper clearance of 0.005 inches. The material selection for both the wire crimper and anvil components is critical to withstand high loads, moderate shock, and the shear loading generated during the plastic deformation process. This tooling is essential for maintaining production quality metrics such as pull test values, crimp symmetry, and consistent area index targets of approximately 80%, making it suitable for high-volume wire termination manufacturing environments.
