The 314270-3 is a bottoming die component used in TE Connectivity's crimp tooling systems to guarantee proper crimp force application during wire termination processes. This component is part of the CERTI-CRIMP tool family and operates with a handle force range of 40 to 47 lbs, ensuring consistent and repeatable crimp operations. The die is designed to compress and reduce the cross-sectional area of both wire and terminal to achieve specified tensile strength, mechanical stability, and electrical conductivity. The bottoming die works in conjunction with handle pressure settings and gage pins to maintain crimp height specifications and verify proper terminal compression. This tooling component is essential for production environments requiring long-term consistency and certification compliance in crimping applications, supporting quality assurance through documented crimp area dimensions and handle pressure settings on certification certificates.
