▲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).

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:
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
CAUTION:
Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can
occur to the tool or die.
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.
Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2. Make sure the center of the locator is in the down position. With the locator attached, push the locator button
on the back of the hand tool to bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.

3. While holding the locator button in, load
the terminal into the proper nest opening
in the locator based on the wire gauge or
terminal type markings on the hand
tooling. See Figure 3.
4. Release the locator button, allowing the
locator to return to the crimping position.
5. Close the tool handle until the first ratchet
position engages. See Figure 4.
6. Insert the properly stripped wire through
the terminal and against the wire stop.
See Figure 5.
7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool
handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle
has been completed. Release the
handles to open the jaws.

8. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal
locator by pulling on the wire.
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.

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.

Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and
responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
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.
LUBRICATION POINTS
The tool was engineered for durability but like any other equipment it
(BOTH SIDES) LIGHT OIL
(EVERY 3 MONTHS OR
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.
Figure 10
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 11.

How to Adjust Tool Preload
(See Figure 12)
This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45 LBS. preload. It may be necessary
over 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:
