DESCRIPTION

7-2150563-7 is a crimp tooling component used in wire termination and barrel crimping applications. The tooling is designed to maintain precise crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) parameters that directly influence the Area Index (AI), a critical quality metric defined as the ratio of total crimped area to total uncrimped area, typically targeted at 80%. 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. The tooling components must withstand high loads and moderate shock, with the wire crimper experiencing aggressive shear loading during the plastic deformation and extrusion process. This precision tooling is essential for maintaining consistent crimp quality, pull test values, and production throughput in high-volume wire termination operations across telecommunications, automotive, and industrial connector applications.
