The Open Crimp Barrel

In crimping technology, the open crimp barrel is the crimp contact with the highest demands on crimp quality. In this practice-oriented technical ebook, these requirements for crimp connections with open crimp barrel contacts are the central topic. The technical background for the respective quality requirements is described in detail for each aspect of the open crimp barrel.

In addition to the background technical considerations for the use of open crimp barrel contacts, the publication provides an overview of the contact types and the respective processing techniques with different tools. In addition to error descriptions, their causes and effects on the crimp connection, the book primarily deals with error detection and error prevention.

The common test methods (visual inspection, crimp dimensions, pull-out test, micrograph preparation) describe, based on examples, how crimp quality can be checked and ensured.

This technical publication contains information from the relevant industry standards, as well as from various factory standards as well as the results of practical tests and empirical findings.

Note: This publication is an excerpt from the reference book “Principles of Crimping Technology - Compendium“.
