描述

1-456403-5 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in high-precision connector assembly processes. The tooling operates on critical dimensional parameters including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW), which directly influence the Area Index (AI) performance metric, typically designed to achieve 80% AI. The component must maintain strict dimensional tolerances, such as CH tolerance of ±0.002 in and CW control within 2% variation to prevent excessive flash and ensure consistent termination quality. Key design specifications include a nominal crimp height of 0.073 in, crimp width of 0.110 in, crimper leg taper of 3.0 degrees, and anvil width of 0.109 in, with nominal anvil-to-crimper clearance of 0.005 in. The tooling is engineered to withstand high shear loading and moderate shock during the plastic deformation and extrusion process of terminal barrels. This crimp tooling is essential for applications requiring reliable electrical connections in telecommunications, automotive, and industrial connector assemblies where pull test values and crimp symmetry are critical quality measures.
