描述

The 1-456402-5 is a crimp tooling component designed for precision wire termination in electrical connector assembly. The tooling is engineered to maintain critical dimensional parameters including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve a target Area Index (AI) of approximately 80%, which directly impacts the quality and reliability of the crimped connection. Key design specifications 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 (wire crimper and anvil) are manufactured from materials selected to withstand high loads, moderate shock, and the aggressive shear loading generated during the terminal barrel forming and plastic deformation process. This crimp tooling is used in production termination processes where dimensional control is critical to ensure consistent pull test values, proper crimp symmetry, and acceptable flash levels in high-volume connector assembly operations.
