描述

1-543382-0 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 Area Index (AI) of approximately 80%, which is critical for consistent pull test values and connection reliability. 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 shear loading during the plastic deformation and extrusion of terminal barrels. This crimp tooling is essential for production environments where quality, cost, and throughput must be monitored through crimp cross-sections, pull test values, and crimp symmetry measurements to ensure consistent termination quality.
