描述

3-456135-0 is a crimp tooling component used in wire termination processes to form electrical connections between wires and terminal barrels. The tooling operates based on precise dimensional control of crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve the target Area Index (AI), typically designed at 80% to ensure proper electrical and mechanical performance. 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 must maintain strict tolerances (±0.002 inches on crimp height) to prevent flash generation and ensure consistent termination quality across production runs. This component is critical for applications requiring reliable wire crimping in connectors, where dimensional stability and material durability directly impact pull test values, crimp symmetry, and overall production throughput.
