REQUIREMENTS ON THE CRIMPED CONTACT
5.1.
Terms of pin contact
5.2.
Conductor position
The single strands of the conductor are clamped in the wire barrel (drill hole at crimp area). Sticking out or
on top crimped single strands are not permitted.
The wire end must be visible at the inspection hole before and after crimping. Insulation may not be inside of
the crimping area.
5.3.
Crimp data for the wire crimp
The crimp form, crimp heights including their corresponding tolerances as well as wire sizes are given in
table 1.
The crimp height is the key quality feature of a crimp connection. The measurement allows a non-destroying
examination and a continuous process inspection. It is provided for every wire size and contact.
Crimp height and width may also be measured in a cross section image. The mechanical operated
measurement though is preferred.
During the application process the crimp height must be checked. This is valid for each batch and after every
change or switchov
er of contact reel or wire bundle or applicator respective it’s setup or components.
The crimp height must be measured over both extensions in middle of crimp (figure 2, also see
point 5.9).
