DESCRIPTION

6-1707413-6 is a crimp tooling component used in wire termination processes to achieve precise wire-barrel compression and connection quality. The tooling is designed to maintain critical dimensional parameters including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve an optimal Area Index (AI) of approximately 80%, which directly impacts pull test values and termination reliability. Key design specifications 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 production environments where consistent crimp quality, dimensional control, and process repeatability are critical to meeting electrical connector performance standards.
