▲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).
Note:
A crimp height chart is provided with this documentl as Reference Only. Due to 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 as damage can
occur to the tool frame and/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.
