Crimp Height｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Cable Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is Crimp Height?
Crimp height refers to the measured height of a crimped connection after compression.
It is a critical parameter used to evaluate the quality of the crimp between components such as sleeves or center contacts and the cable.
Incorrect crimp height can lead to poor electrical contact or reduced mechanical strength.
Crimp Height in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial systems, maintaining the correct crimp height is essential for ensuring stable electrical performance.
Proper crimp height helps maintain consistent impedance, minimizes signal loss, and ensures reliable mechanical strength.
Precision measurement and control of crimp height are important in both manufacturing and quality inspection.
