BESCHRIJVING

The 1338211-2 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in TE Connectivity's connector assembly processes. The tooling is engineered to maintain precise crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) dimensions to achieve a target area index (AI) of approximately 80%, which is critical for consistent pull test values and connection reliability. Key dimensional parameters include a nominal crimp height of 0.073 in, crimp width of 0.110 in, crimper leg taper of 3.0 degrees, and anvil width of 0.109 in, with a nominal anvil-to-crimper clearance of 0.005 in. The tooling components (wire crimper and anvil) are manufactured from materials selected to withstand high shear loading, plastic deformation forces, and moderate shock during the termination process. Proper dimensional control of this tooling is essential to minimize flash generation, maintain consistent crimp symmetry, and ensure repeatable production throughput in high-volume wire termination operations across automotive, aerospace, and industrial connector applications.
