描述

1579001-3 is a crimp tooling component used in wire termination processes to form electrical connections between wires and terminal barrels. The tooling operates by applying controlled crimping force to achieve precise dimensional specifications including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW), which directly influence the area index (AI) of the completed crimp. Typical design 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 nominal anvil-to-crimper clearance of 0.005 inches. The tooling must maintain strict dimensional tolerances (±0.002 inches for crimp height) to ensure consistent pull test values and crimp symmetry across production runs. This component is critical for achieving the industry-standard 80% area index design point and is commonly used in high-volume connector assembly operations where quality, cost, and throughput must be carefully balanced.
