Insulation crimp should meet IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2 compliance.
Wire Size
502307
Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp.
The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum crimp.
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.
Crimping Terminals
1. Lift the wire stop blade up.
2. Insert the terminal fully into the correct profile until the
PRE-STRIPPED
terminal is fully seated and stops.

LOCATOR
3. Bring down the wire stop blade.
Figure 1
4. Slide the pre-stripped wire into the wire stop blade. See
Figure 1. Be sure to hold the wire in place until the terminal is fully crimped. See Figure 2.
5. Close the tool until the ratchet releases, the tool handles will then spring open.
6. Lift the wire stop blade up if it is still in down position.
7. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.
Note:
To maintain good brush control and a consistent bell mouth the crimping instructions must be
followed.

Hand Crimp Tool for CTX 1.50mm Receptacle Crimp Terminal
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.
4. 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.

force the handles open or

The tool will open easily by pushing the ratchet release lever.
Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital
components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of
30
days.
Should such a defect occur, we would exchange the tool free of charge. This will not be applicable to
altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use only. Any clamping, fixturing, or use of
handle extensions voids this warranty.
CAUTION:
Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
Hand held crimping tools are intended for low volume, prototyping, or repair requirements only.
Notes:
1. This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet.
2. This tool is not adjustable. Variations in tools, terminals, and wire stranding and insulation types may affect
crimp height.
3. This tool is intended only for the wire types specified. It may not give a good insulation crimp support for all
insulation sizes.
4. Molex does not repair hand tools (see warranty above). The replacement parts listed are the only parts
available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling is damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased.
5. Pull force should be used as the final criteria for an acceptable crimp. Pull force is measured with no
influence from the insulation crimp. The insulation should be stripped long (1/2 in.) so the insulation grips on
the terminal do not grip the wire insulation or the conductor. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping Handbook
63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp testing.
6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.
CAUTION:
Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals, applicators and
tooling.
