DESCRIPTION

91526-3 is a crimp tooling component used in electrical connector termination processes. The tooling is designed to achieve precise crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) control to maintain an Area Index (AI) of approximately 80%, which is critical for ensuring proper electrical and mechanical connection quality. Key dimensional parameters include a nominal crimp height of 0.073 inches and crimp width of 0.110 inches, with a crimper leg taper of 3.0 degrees and anvil width of 0.109 inches. The tooling requires strict dimensional control, as small variations in crimp width directly impact crimp height tolerance; for example, a 2% variation in CW results in approximately 0.0014 inches of CH variation. This component is essential for maintaining consistent pull test values, crimp symmetry, and production throughput in high-volume wire and terminal crimping operations across telecommunications, automotive, and industrial connector applications.
