DESCRIPTION

7-2151094-7 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in electrical connector assembly processes. The tooling is engineered to maintain precise dimensional control of crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve a target area index (AI) of approximately 80%, which is critical for ensuring proper electrical and mechanical connection quality. Key design 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 used in production termination processes where maintaining strict dimensional tolerances (such as ±0.002 inches on crimp height) is essential to prevent flash generation and ensure consistent pull test values and crimp symmetry across high-volume manufacturing operations.
