BESCHRIJVING

1454509-2 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in electrical connector assembly processes. The tooling is engineered to maintain critical dimensional specifications 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 must withstand high shear loading and moderate shock during the plastic deformation and extrusion of terminal barrels, requiring careful material selection and dimensional control to prevent flash generation and ensure consistent termination quality. Dimensional tolerances are critical; for example, a 2% variation in crimp width can consume 35% of the total crimp height tolerance, making precision manufacturing essential. This tooling is used in high-volume production environments where crimp quality monitoring, pull test values, and lead-per-hour throughput are continuously measured to maintain process control and product reliability.
