SCOPE
This handbook is intended for Molex customers who are crimping Molex open barrel crimp terminals and are
using Molex tooling, primarily in semiautomatic or automatic wire processing termination methods.
The handbook’s contents may slightly differ from other connector manufacturers’ guidelines or individual company procedures.
This handbook provides a basic overview of what to look for in an acceptable crimp. It is not intended to replace individual product
and/or tooling specifications.
Individual terminals or applications may have special requirements. Tooling limitations also may not permit an attribute to be
adjusted to meet optimum requirements.
