The 90870-2 is a bottoming die component used in crimp tooling systems to guarantee proper crimp force application during terminal crimping operations. This tooling component is designed to work with handle pressure systems to ensure consistent compression and reduction of wire and terminal cross-sectional areas, resulting in specified tensile strength, mechanical stability, and electrical conductivity. The die operates within defined handle force parameters (40–47 lbs) and maintains crimp height specifications (38.18–498 units) to achieve repeatable crimping results. Verification and recertification cycles are recommended every 8 months or 1,000 cycles to maintain long-term consistency and performance. This component is essential for production environments requiring reliable and certified crimp tooling to meet connectivity standards.
