what is the characteristic of a good crimp
The crimp height, which is the cross sectional height of the conductor Crimp Section after it has been crimped, is the most important characteristic of a good crimp. The connector manufacturer provides the crimp height for each wire size for which the terminal was designed. The correct crimp height range or tolerance for a given wire may be as small as 0.002. With a specification this tight, verifying that the press is setup correctly is very important for achieving a good crimp.
