5-456135-8 is a crimp tooling component designed for wire barrel termination in electrical connector assembly processes. The tooling is engineered to maintain precise dimensional control of crimp height (CH) and crimp width (CW) to achieve a target area index (AI) of approximately 80%, which is critical for ensuring reliable electrical connections. Key design 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 are manufactured from materials selected to withstand high loads, moderate shock, and the aggressive shear loading generated during the plastic deformation and extrusion of terminal barrels. This crimp tooling is essential for production environments where maintaining consistent crimp quality, pull test values, and lead throughput rates are critical to meeting connector performance specifications.
