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.
OVERLAP FORM GEOMETRY
PUNCH
▲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
ANVIL
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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

top locator hooks should slip out of the top
HANDTOOL
slots easily. See Figure 7A.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the
TOP HOOKS
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
LOWER TABS
tabs into the two bottom slots of the hand
tool. To secure the locator into place, the lower
JAWS OPEN
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:

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 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:
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.

(BOTH SIDES) LIGHT OIL
(EVERY 3 MONTHS OR
5,000 CRIMPS)
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil
Figure 10
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,
Do Not
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
