Wire Harness Checks: Crimp Height, Pull Force, Strip Length and Bend Radius
Pass / fail checks of measured crimp height, pull-out force, strip length and bend radius against the limits you enter.
Crimp height
Pull-out force
Strip length
Bend radius
Enter the limits from your terminal / cable datasheet. No limits are built in: crimp height, pull-out force, strip length and bend radius depend on the exact terminal, wire and cable (terminal datasheet, UL 486A-486B, USCAR-21, IPC/WHMA-A-620 and the cable maker’s data). Enter the limits from those documents. Rules of thumb for bend radius (often 4–6 × OD static, 10–15 × OD flexing) vary by cable — use the cable datasheet.
For preliminary assessment only — the final decision must follow the manufacturer’s datasheet and the applicable NEC / IEC / UL standards. Results are calculated from the standard formulas stated on this page and are for design estimates only. They are not a rating of any specific part — always confirm current, voltage, temperature and environment limits against the manufacturer’s datasheet for the part you intend to use.
