BESCHRIJVING

8-1579018-3 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in electrical 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 ensuring proper electrical and mechanical connection quality. Key dimensional 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. The tooling components, particularly the wire crimper and anvil, are manufactured from materials selected to withstand high loads, moderate shock, and the shear loading generated during the plastic deformation and extrusion of terminal barrels. This crimp tooling is essential for production environments where dimensional control directly impacts termination quality, pull test values, and overall manufacturing throughput in high-volume connector assembly operations.
