DESCRIPTION

The 90471-1 is a crimping terminal component used in electrical assembly applications where wires are compressed into a metal barrel to form a secure, solderless connection. The terminal is designed to work with matching TE Connectivity crimping tools to ensure proper crimp quality, including correct conductor crimp height (CH1), insulation crimp height (CH2), conductor crimp width (CR1), and insulation crimp width (CR2). The crimped connection must meet industry certification standards including vibration testing (16 hours exposure without electrical discontinuity), crimp tensile strength testing, dielectric strength testing, and voltage drop testing to ensure electrical resistance stability. Proper selection of wire gauge, terminal, and applicator tool is critical to achieve good crimp quality with straight, loop-free crimps and even wire distribution. This terminal is commonly used in industrial systems and applications requiring reliable, low-cost solderless connections that maintain electrical and mechanical integrity over extended service life.
