DESCRIPTION

The 3-662183-1 is a crimp tooling component designed for precision wire termination in electrical connector assembly processes. The tooling is engineered to maintain critical dimensional parameters including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve a target Area Index (AI) of approximately 80%, which directly impacts termination quality and pull-test performance. Key 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 to minimize flash generation. The tooling components are manufactured from materials selected to withstand high shear loading, frictional forces, and moderate shock during the wire barrel forming and plastic deformation process. This tooling is essential for production environments where crimp quality monitoring, dimensional control, and process repeatability are critical to achieving consistent termination performance and meeting pull-test specifications.
