The 55823-1 is a bottoming die component used in crimp tooling systems to guarantee proper crimp force application during wire termination processes. This component is engineered to control the compression and reduction of cross-sectional area of both wire and terminal, ensuring consistent crimp quality and repeatability across production cycles. The die operates with a handle force range of 40 to 47 lbs and achieves a crimp height between 38.18 and 498 units after crimping, with verification recommended every 8 months or 1,000 cycles. By maintaining precise crimp parameters, the 55823-1 ensures specified tensile strength, mechanical stability, and electrical conductivity in crimped connections. This bottoming die is essential for maintaining long-term consistency in crimping production and is commonly used in wire processing and terminal assembly applications where reliable electrical connections are critical.
