BESCHRIJVING

1338125-9 is a crimp tooling component manufactured by TE Connectivity for wire termination and barrel crimping operations. 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-engineered surfaces with controlled taper angles and clearances—such as a crimper leg taper of approximately 3.0 degrees and nominal anvil-to-crimper clearance of 0.005 inches—to minimize flash generation and ensure consistent termination quality. Dimensional control is critical, as small variations in crimp width directly impact crimp height requirements; for example, a 2% increase in CW necessitates approximately a 2% decrease in CH to maintain the same AI design point. This tooling is essential for high-volume production environments where crimp quality, pull test values, and process repeatability are monitored to ensure reliable electrical connections in connector assemblies.
