Crimp Geometry
The crimp geometry, crimp heights including their corresponding tolerances as well as wire sizes are given in
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. The crimp height
is given in
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 switchover of contact reel or wire bundle o
r applicator respective it’s setup or components.
The crimp height must be measured over both extensions in middle of crimp, as shown in
Cross Section
When creating cross-sections, the correct grinding layer must be selected. The grinding layer must be at middle
of crimp area and may not be inside of serration, as shown in
Wire Pull-out forces
Measurement of wire pull-out forces from the wire crimp is a supporting manufacturing control.
The pull-out forces must fulfil the requirements according product specification 108-94579.
