▲ Insulation Crimp Note
Due to the terminal’s insulation grip design or
insulation diameter range, this tool uses overlap form
geometry in the insulation punch. This produces an
overlap insulation crimp (A-620-compliant). Although
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).
Note
A crimp height chart is provided with this document as a reference only. Because of the wide range
of wires, strands, insulation diameters and durometers available, actual crimp height
measurements may very slightly. An occasional destructive pull force test should be performed to
check hand tool crimp. Pull force value must exceed the minimum pull force specifications listed.
OPERATION
CAUTION: Crimp only the Molex terminals listed in the scope for this tool. Do not crimp
hardened objects because damage can occur to the tool frame or crimp dies.
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.
