The 1976923-2 is a bottoming die component used in TE Connectivity's CERTI-CRIMP crimp tooling systems to guarantee proper crimp force application during wire termination. This die is engineered to control the compression and reduction of cross-sectional area of both wire and terminal, ensuring consistent crimp height and mechanical stability across production runs. The assembly operates with a handle force range of 40 to 47 lbs and produces a crimp height between 38.18 and 498 units (as specified in the certification documentation). The bottoming die is critical for maintaining long-term consistency in crimping production, confirming that proper crimp force results in specified tensile strength, mechanical stability, and electrical conductivity. This component is essential for manufacturers requiring certified crimp tooling that meets standardized procedures and current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) for reliable terminal attachment in electrical and electronic assemblies.
