DESCRIPTION

7-238005-0 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in high-precision electrical connector assembly. The tooling is engineered to maintain critical dimensional specifications including crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve an Area Index (AI) design point of approximately 80%, which directly impacts pull test values and termination quality. Key performance 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 to minimize flash generation. The tooling components, particularly the wire crimper and anvil, are manufactured from materials selected to withstand high loads, moderate shock, and significant shear loading during the plastic deformation and extrusion process. This crimp tooling is essential for maintaining production quality metrics such as crimp symmetry, lead throughput, and consistent termination performance in automated wire processing operations.
