To Achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
1. Profile 22-24: 1.09-1.65mm (.043-.065 inch)
2. Profile 32-36: 0.50-0.64mm (.020-.025 inch)

Hand Crimp Tool for SL™ Crimp Terminals

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.
CAUTION:
Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can
occur to the tool or die.
Note:
A crimp height chart is provided with this manual 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
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.

9. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper
crimp location.
10. On some large O.D. wires, it may not be possible
to insert the wire with the tool partially closed.
Those wires should be inserted with the hand tool
in the open position. Insert the wire above the
terminal in the punch and against the wire stop
then close the tool. See Figure 6.

Hand Crimp Tool for SL™ Crimp Terminals
Right or Left Hand Operation
This hand tool has an added feature that can be
converted from a right handed application to a left
handed application. It is necessary to reverse the tooling
if using the left handed application along with the locator.
Follow the steps below:
1. The locator must be removed before reversing the
tooling.
2. Remove the M3 BHCS which is holding the upper
tooling.
3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and
replace the M3 BHCS. Make sure the small
markings on the front and back of the hand tool
frame match up and are on the outside of the hand
tool frame. See Figure 11 and 12.
4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling and
tighten the M3 screws. Be sure the small markings
line up.
5. Reinstall the locator by following the Instructions in
the locator replacement section.

Maintenance
FRONT
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be
made aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
Figure 12
BACK
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine
oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like any other equipment it needs
cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping.
Light oil (such as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the oil points, every
5,000 crimps or 3 months, will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil
transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect the
electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from
becoming lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry
area.
Miscrimps or Jams
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position,

force the handles open or closed.
The tool will open easily by pressing up
on the ratchet release lever in the movable handle. See Figure 9.
