FEATURES
A full cycle ratcheting hand tool ensures complete crimps
Long handles for comfortable crimping with reduced crimping force
A precision user-friendly terminal locator wire stop holds terminals in the proper crimping position for each of
the three nests
Insulation crimp adjustment allows a precise insulation crimp. To meet or exceed the requirements of UL,
CSA and Military Class II
3-nested tool eliminates the need for additional tools
SCOPE
Products: InsulKrimp™ Piggyback Quick Disconnect 10 - 22 AWG.
Testing
Mechanical
The tensile test, or pull test, is a means of evaluating the mechanical properties of the crimped connections.
The following charts show the UL specifications for various wire sizes. The tensile strength is shown in
pounds. It indicates the minimum acceptable force to break or separate the terminal from the conductor.

OPERATION
Open the tool by first closing the jaws sufficiently for the ratchet
mechanism to release.
Crimping Terminals
JAWS
OPEN
TERMINAL
1. Push the terminal onto the Tab Locator all the way to the
stop in the proper color-coded nest. The male tab of the
Figure 1
terminal should be up. See Figure 1.
2. The height of the locator may need to be adjusted when
changing from one terminal size to another. To do this,
TAB LOCATOR
MALE TAB
loosen the locator lock nut, (See Figure 3), and adjust height
FACING UP LOCATOR
so the tab aligns with the female locator tab. Tighten the
lock nut.
3. Partially close the tool to hold the terminal in place. See Figure 2.
4. Insert the properly stripped wire into the terminal barrel. See Figure 2 and 3. The wires end should butt
against the wire stop stamped into each terminal. Cycle the tool.

Hand Crimp Tool for InsulKrimp™ Piggyback QD
Note:
The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
5. Remove the crimp and inspect for proper crimp location, and check for insulation closure. Molex offers a
Crimp Inspection Handbook for closed barrel industrial product. See our website or contact your sales
engineer.
Note:
Whenever crimping without the locator, make sure the seam of the terminal is oriented up or down in the
tool if using unbrazed product, as this will provide higher pull force values.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of
the tool be made aware of, and responsible
for, the following maintenance steps.
LUBRICATION POINTS
(BOTH SIDES) LIGHT OIL
(EVERY 3 MONTHS OR
5,000 CRIMPS)
1.
Remove dust, moisture and other
LOOSEN
contaminants with a clean brush, or
M4 SCREW
soft, lint-free cloth.
2.
Do not use any abrasive materials that
3/32” HEX
could damage the tool.
WRENCH
3.
Make certain all pins; pivot points and
bearing surfaces are protected with a
Figure 4
thin coat of high quality machine oil.
Do not oil excessively.
4.
This tool was engineered for durability, but like any fine piece of equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for
a maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. A light oil, such as 30 weight automotive oil used at the oil
points shown in Figure 4, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a
stable calibration.
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 the ratchet release lever. See
Figure 5.

Remove the screw and plastic cover washer. Note the setting wheel position.
Lift the setting wheel off the axle. Turn the eccentric axle with a screwdriver.
Turning the eccentric axle counter-clockwise will increase handle force.
Replace the setting wheel to the axle, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to the dowel pin.
Replace the plastic cover washer and screw.
Check the crimp specifications after tool crimp force is adjusted.

Tool Calibration
A Certificate of Calibration (see last page) was supplied with the tool. To
recalibrate this tool, pin gauge measurements should be taken in each
conductor nest and compared to this chart. The tool should be lubricated
prior to recalibration to ensure consistent measurements. Handle preload
is factory set to 25-45 LBS. See How to Adjust Tool Preload (see Figure
5) to recalibrate.
