DESCRIPTION

1633861-1 is a crimp tooling component used in wire termination processes to achieve proper electrical and mechanical connections. The tooling is designed to control crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to maintain an optimal Area Index (AI) of approximately 80%, which represents the ratio of total crimped area to total uncrimped area (wire plus barrel). Key dimensional parameters 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. The tooling components, particularly the wire crimper and anvil, are manufactured from materials selected to withstand high loads, moderate shock, and the shear loading generated during the plastic deformation and extrusion of terminal barrels. This crimp tooling is essential for maintaining production quality metrics such as crimp symmetry, pull test values, and consistent lead termination rates in high-volume connector assembly operations.
