DESCRIPTION

525913-1 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in electrical connector assembly processes. The tooling is engineered to maintain critical dimensional specifications including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve proper area index (AI) performance, with a typical design point of 80% AI. The component must withstand high shear loading and moderate shock during the plastic deformation and extrusion of terminal barrels, requiring careful material selection and dimensional control to prevent flash generation and ensure consistent termination quality. Proper maintenance of crimp tooling dimensions is essential for maintaining pull test values, crimp symmetry, and production throughput in high-volume connector manufacturing operations.
