• Tool Qualification Notes:
1. Pull Force should be measured with no influence
from the insulation crimp.
2. The above specifications are guidelines to an
optimum crimp.
▲Insulation Crimp Note:
Due to the terminal’s insulation grip design and/or
insulation diameter range, this tool uses “overlap” form
geometry in the insulation punch. This produces an
overlap insulation crimp (A620 – compliant). While the
insulation punch profile may appear “lopsided”, this is
a normal condition for this tool. See figure to the right.
(Some tools with multiple crimp pockets may not have the “overlap” profile on all pockets).
CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can
occur to the tool or die.
OPERATION
Open the tool by squeezing the handles together. At
the end of the closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism
will release the handles and the hand tool will spring
open. See Figure 1.
Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding
charts.
2. Make sure the center of the locator is in the down
position. With the locator attached, push the
locator button on the back of the hand tool to
bring the locator forward through the tooling.
See Figure 2.
