DESCRIPTION

1803112-1 is a crimp tooling component used in wire termination processes to form electrical connections between wires and terminal barrels. The tooling is engineered to maintain precise crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) dimensions, with a typical design point for Area Index (AI) of 80%, which is calculated as the ratio of total crimped area to total uncrimped area. Critical 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 the shear loading generated during the plastic deformation and extrusion of the terminal barrel. This crimp tooling is essential for maintaining consistent pull test values, crimp symmetry, and production throughput in high-volume wire termination manufacturing processes.
