DESCRIPTION

539662-2 is a crimp tooling component used in electrical connector termination processes. The tooling is designed to achieve precise crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) control to maintain an Area Index (AI) of approximately 80%, which is critical for ensuring proper electrical and mechanical connection quality. Key dimensional parameters include a nominal crimp height of 0.073 inches and crimp width of 0.110 inches, with a crimper leg taper of 3.0 degrees and anvil width of 0.109 inches. The tooling must withstand high shear loading and moderate shock during the plastic deformation and extrusion of terminal barrels. Dimensional control is critical to prevent excessive flash and maintain consistent crimp quality across production runs, making this tooling essential for high-reliability connector assembly in telecommunications, automotive, and industrial applications.
