Hand Crimp Tool for Mini-Fit Sr. Crimp Terminals
Doc No: ATS-2002181600 Release Date: 10-19-17 UNCONTROLLED COPY Page 5 of 6
Revision: A Revision Date: 10-19-17
CAUTIONS:
1. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low-volume use or field repair. This tool is NOT intended for
production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
2. Insulated rubber handles are not protection against electrical shock.
3. Wear eye protection at all times.
4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.
CAUTION
Molex tooling crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and
tooling manufactured by Molex or authorized distributors (“Molex Tooling”). When using
tooling other than Molex Tooling with specific Molex connector systems listed in the ATS
documents, the Molex tooling qualification does not apply, and the responsibility for full
qualification of the connector system is that of the customer.
Molex accepts no liability for connector performance or tooling support where tooling
other than Molex Tooling is used or where Molex Tooling is modified.
CAUTION
A-620 and other industry standards do not supersede the manufacturer’s specifications.
Some terminals designed over 20 years ago may not meet the desired physical attributes
for some of today’s standards. However, these terminals will still perform electrically at
an acceptable quality level based on the qualification testing and years of successful
performance in the field.
Notes
1. This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet.
2. This tool is not adjustable. Variations in tools, terminals, wire stranding and insulation types may affect crimp
height.
3. This tool is intended for standard conductor sizes. It may not give a good insulation crimp support for all
insulation sizes.
4. Molex does not repair hand tools (see warranty above). The replacement parts listed are the only parts
available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling are damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased.
5. Pull force should be used as the final criterion for an acceptable crimp. Pull force is measured with no
influence from the insulation crimp. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping Handbook 63800-0029 for additional
information on crimping and crimp testing.
6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.
7. Handheld crimping tools are intended for low-volume, prototyping or repair requirements only.
CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
