To achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
Profile A: 1.30 – 1.55mm (0.051 – 0.061 inch) or UL1007
Profile B: 2.00 – 2.25mm (0.078 – 0.089 inch) or UL1015
Profile C:
1.00 – 1.15mm (0.039 – 0.045 inch) or UL1061

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.
▲Note:
The crimp height chart is provided with this document as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands,
insulation diameters, and insulation hardness available, actual crimp height measurements may vary slightly. An
occasional, destructive, pull force test should be performed to verify the conductor 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.

Locator Replacement
See the parts list on the last page of this document for
the proper locator order number. Follow the steps below
to replace the locator.

1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown in Figure
PUSH ON
7A with your thumb and index finger. The lower
HANDLE
tabs of the locator should disengage from the hand
tool.
3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool. The top locator hooks should slip out of the top slots easily. See Figure
7A.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the hand tool is in the open position.
5. Press the red insert down as far as it will go as shown in Figure 7B.
6. Holding onto the lower part of the locator with your thumb and index finger, insert the locators top hooks (2)
into the hand tool top slots.
7. Rotate the locator down and press the lower tabs into the two bottom slots of the hand tool. To secure the
locator into place, the lower tabs must snap into place on the hand tool frame.
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:
MATCH
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
BACK
FRONT
tool frame. See Figure 8 and 9.
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
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance
steps:
RATCHET RELEASE
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other
LEVER
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

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.

WHEEL
the life of the tool to adjust tool handle
preload force. Listed below are the steps required to adjust the crimping force of the hand tool to obtain proper
crimp conditions:
1. Hold the hand tool in the palm of your hand as shown in Figure 12. Using the index finger squeeze the link
towards the top of the hand tool frame. This will release the preload adjustment wheel.
2. Rotate the setting wheel counter-clockwise (CCW) to increase handle force. The numbers will display higher.
To decrease handle force rotate the setting wheel clockwise (CW).
3. Release the link to lock the setting wheel in place.
4. Check the crimp specifications or conduct a pull test after tool handle preload force is adjusted.
