STRAIGHTNESS 1 2 3 4
The crimping process may result in some bending between the conductor crimp and the terminal box. This
bending must not exceed the limits shown in Table 2
WIRE STRAIGHTNESS 1 2
UP/DOWN Wire straightness ensures that the wire is not biased to either side of the cavity and/or mat seal.
Wire straightness is measured with reference to Datum J for Up/Down bias. With a max wire length of 20mm
for measurement purposes, establish the angle of the wire with one point at the base of the insulation grip
(J1) and the other at 5mm from the base of the insulation grip (J2).
LEFT/RIGHT Wire straightness ensures that the wire is not biased to either side of the cavity and/or mat seal.
Wire straightness is measured with reference to Datum E for LEFT/RIGHT bias. With a max wire length of
20mm for measurement purposes, establish the angle of the wire with one point at the base of the insulation
grip (E1) and the other at 5mm from the base of the insulation grip (E2).
TWISTING 3
To measure twisting, establish datum E1 as shown in Figure 3. then measure the angle of the line defined by
points C and D with respect to the datum.

BELLMOUTH (FLARE) 5a 5b 5c 6
The flare that is formed on the edge of the conductor crimp acts as a funnel for the wire strands. This funnel
reduces the possibility that a sharp edge on the conductor crimp will cut or nick the wire strands. A rear
bellmouth is required on the conductor crimp. CAUTION: Excessively large/small bellmouth may affect
mechanical / electrical performance. See Table 2 for bellmouth specifications.

APPLICATION SPECIFICATION
CONDUCTOR BRUSH 8a 8b
The conductor brush is made up of the wire strands that extend past the conductor crimp into the transition
area towards the terminal box. This helps ensure that mechanical compression occurs over the full length of
the conductor crimp. The conductor brush should not extend past the transition area into the terminal box or
above the conductor crimp/transition wall height (whichever is tallest). CAUTION: Excessive conductor brush
extended above the transition/crimp area can cause terminal retention issues inside plastic cavity.
8a
8b
Figure 7
CONDUCTOR STRIP LENGTH 9
The strip length is determined by measuring the exposed conductor strands after the insulation is removed.
The strip length determines the conductor brush length when the end-of-insulation position is centered in the
transition area between conductor and insulation crimps. See Table 2 for the length requirement
CAUTION: Care must be taken to ensure that all conductor strands are equal in length (no diagonally cut
strands). No scratched or missing strands are permitted. The insulation cut must be uniform (no diagonally
cut insulation and no extrusions of insulation).
CONDUCTOR CRIMP
This is the metallurgical compression of a terminal around the wire's conductor. This connection creates a
common electrical path with low resistance and high current carrying capabilities.
CONDUCTOR CRIMP HEIGHT/WIDTH 10 11
The conductor crimp height is measured from the top surface of the formed crimp to the bottom most radial
surface. The conductor crimp width is measured across the widest portion of the crimp. Do not include the
extrusion points in these measurements. Measuring crimp height/width is a quick, non-destructive way to help
ensure the correct metallurgical compression of a terminal around the wire's conductor and is an excellent
attribute for process control. The crimp height/width specification is typically set as a balance between
electrical and mechanical performance over the complete range of wire stranding and coatings, and terminal
materials and plating. Although it is possible to optimize a crimp height/width to individual wire strands and
terminal plating, one crimp height/width specification is normally created. See Table 2 for crimp height/width
specifications.

INSULATION CRIMP HEIGHT/WIDTH 12 13
Insulation crimp heights/widths are specified in Table 2. CTX50 Un-Sealed Receptacle Terminals are
designed to accommodate multiple wire sizes. Although within the terminal range, an insulation grip may not
completely surround the wire, an acceptable insulation crimp will still be provided.
The insulation crimp should be visually evaluated to confirm it provides adequate compression on the wire. It
should also be evaluated by sectioning through the center of the crimped insulation grip. The grip should
compress the insulation but not pierce it or otherwise damage the integrity of the insulation. The grip should
not contact the conductors under any circumstance. Mechanically, the insulation grip should withstand
repeated flexing of the wire as shown in Figure 8 without pulling out of the grip. The wire is flexed 5 times
each in two perpendicular planes in the following sequence: b to a, a to b, b to c, c to b, then repeat (see
Figure 8).
Once the optimum setting for an insulation crimp height is determined, it is important to document it. The
operator can then check it as part of the setup procedure.
Figure 8
INSULATION AND CONDUCTOR GRIP STEP 14 15
The insulation grip step is the designed offset between the conductor grip and the insulation grip which must
be met by the crimp process (see Figure 9 and Table 2).

CONDUCTOR ANVIL FLASH (EXTRUSIONS / BURR)
These are the small flares that form on the bottom of the conductor crimp resulting from the clearance
between the punch and anvil tooling. If the anvil is worn or the terminal is over-crimped, excessive extrusion
can result.
An uneven extrusion may also result if the punch and anvil are misaligned, if the feed is misadjusted or if
there is insufficient or excessive terminal drag (see Figure 8 and Table 2).

END-OF-INSULATION POSITION
This is the location of the insulation in relation to the transition area between the conductor and insulation
crimps. Equal amounts of the conductor strands and insulation needs to be visible in the transition area. The
end-of insulation position ensures that the insulation is crimped along the full length of the insulation crimp
and that no insulation gets crimped under the conductor crimp. The end-of-insulation position is set by the
wire stop and strip length for bench applications. For automatic wire processing applications, the end-ofinsulation position is set by the in/out press adjustment (see Figure 2).
WING DISSYMMETRY 17
Wing dissymmetry is the crimped offset between the ends of core wings (see Figure 10 and Table 2).
SPACE BETWEEN WING TIPS AND CRIMP BOTTOM 18
The space between the crimp wing tips and the bottom of the crimp is designed to assure no contact between
wing tips and the crimp bottom. Shortest distance is measured. (See Figure 10 and Table 2).

CRIMP BULGE
Caution needs to be taken with the crimp tooling to prevent a bulge in the transition area during crimping. The
transition should generally flow smoothly from the conductor crimp to the terminal box. Any bulge must not
exceed the width shown in Table 3. See Figure 11 for an example of crimp bulge.
