DESCRIPTION

7-1490019-7 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in high-precision electrical connector assembly. The tooling operates with critical dimensional specifications including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) that directly influence the Area Index (AI) performance metric, typically designed to achieve 80% AI. Key operational parameters include a crimper leg taper of approximately 3.0 degrees, anvil width of 0.109 inches, and nominal anvil-to-crimper clearance of 0.005 inches, with tight tolerances such as CH tolerance of ±0.002 inches to maintain consistent termination quality. The material selection for both the wire crimper and anvil components is critical to withstand high shear loading, frictional forces, and moderate shock during the plastic deformation and extrusion process. This tooling is essential for production environments where crimp quality monitoring, pull test values, and lead-per-hour throughput are critical performance measures in automated wire termination processes.
