Crimp Specification for Powerpole

2/0 Contacts

The included crimp performance and dimensional information are provided as a means to verify quality crimping of Anderson Power Products® (APP®) contacts and is based on the use of APP® tooling. The assembly of connector

solutions with APP® tooling assures that all crimp performance and fit specifications are met. Customers must regularly re-check electrical performance and dimensions of crimps to determine if APP® crimp tools require mainte-

nance due to wear over time.

The use of tooling not recommended by APP® can affect performance and may void the APP® product warranty as well as invalidate safety agency approvals or certifications.

Dimensions of crimps meeting all four performance and fit requirements may be recorded and used as quality acceptance criteria:

Quality crimping of the contact alone does not assure the installed performance of the connector system. Stress loads on the contacts from wires which have been bent or twisted near to the connector’s wire exit may severely

degrade connector performance. Wires should exit straight from the back of the connector and be secured before bending or twisting.

APP® reserves the right to make changes to either our products and/or support documentation as required without notice. APP® has used reasonable efforts to provide accurate and up-to-date content as of the date of publishing

but is not responsible in case of typos or misprints. Customers are responsible to assure they are in possession the most recent documentation available. Current sales drawings and specifications are available on the APP® web-

site or upon request.

APP® makes no warranty that the products are appropriate for the customer’s application and it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure crimp and connector performance meet end use requirements. APP® does not warranty

that APP® tooling will produce acceptable results with non-APP® products.

(1) “Milli-ohm Resistance”

Primary inspection criteria. Crimps which do not meet these minimum specifications are unacceptable.

(2) “Wire Pull Out Force”

(3) “Maximum Crimp Barrel Dimen-

sions”

Not to be interpreted as target crimp dimensions. They are the maximum dimensions that allow the contact to properly fit into the connector

housing. Actual dimension of acceptable quality crimps will be less than the “Max Dimensions” in at least one if not both dimensions.

(4) “Maximum Blade Angle Distor-

tion”

Required to ensure proper contact retention in the housing. Out of specification contacts can increase milli-ohm resistance of an assembled

mated pair of connectors. Contacts with unacceptable blade angle distortion cause connector mating and unmating forces to deviate from

specification.

Resistance Test Setup Pull Test Setup Measure Blade Angle

Before Crimp

After Crimp

Measure angle between contact blade (blue

line A) and crimp barrel (green line B). After

crimping this angle should be maintained + or -

0.5 degrees up or down.
