DESCRIPTION

7-2151780-7 is a crimp tooling component manufactured by TE Connectivity for precision wire termination in electrical connector assembly. The tooling is engineered to control critical dimensional parameters including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve proper area index (AI) performance, with a typical design point of 80% AI. The component incorporates precision-formed surfaces with controlled taper angles and clearances to minimize flash generation and ensure consistent terminal barrel deformation during the crimping process. Key dimensional specifications include 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 nominal anvil-to-crimper clearance of 0.005 inches. This tooling is critical for maintaining production quality metrics such as crimp symmetry, pull test values, and lead throughput in high-volume wire termination operations across telecommunications, automotive, and industrial connector applications.
