DESCRIPTION

462006-8 is a crimp tooling component used in wire termination processes to form and compress wire and terminal barrels into secure electrical connections. The tooling is engineered to maintain precise dimensional control, with typical design specifications including a crimp height (CH) of 0.073 inches and crimp width (CW) of 0.110 inches, along with a crimper leg taper of 3.0 degrees and anvil width of 0.109 inches. The component is designed to achieve an Area Index of approximately 80%, which represents the ratio of total crimped area to total uncrimped area, ensuring consistent crimp quality and pull test performance. Critical dimensional tolerances such as CH tolerance of ±0.002 inches must be maintained to control flash and ensure reliable terminations. This tooling is essential for high-volume production environments where crimp symmetry, pull test values, and leads per hour throughput are monitored to maintain quality standards in connector assembly operations.
