描述

691353-1 is a technical reference document for crimp tooling application in wire termination processes. It provides guidance on critical dimensional parameters including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW), which directly influence the Area Index (AI) metric used to assess termination quality. The document specifies nominal design conditions such as CH of 0.073 inches, CW 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. Material selection for tooling components, particularly wire crimpers and anvils, is emphasized as critical to withstand high loads, moderate shock, and shear loading during the plastic deformation process. This reference is essential for manufacturers seeking to maintain consistent crimp quality, minimize flash generation, and optimize production throughput in wire termination operations.
