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.

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.

3. With the wire stop lever pushed in, load the
terminal into the proper nest opening marked
with the wire gauge on the hand tool. See Figure 2.
4. Next release the wire stop lever, allowing the wire stop to return to the crimping position.
5. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the wire stop. See Figure 3.

Release the handles to open the jaws. See Figure 4.
Note:
The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been
fully closed.
7. Push the wire stop lever in to raise the wire stop up and remove the crimped
terminal from the locator by lifting up and then pulling the wire out.
8. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.

3. Remove the locator assembly from the frame head.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the hand tool is in the open
position.

Make sure the tool is in open position before remove or install tooling.
The locator must be removed before remove or install tooling.
Remove the M3 screw which is holding the upper tooling.
Remove or install upper tooling through the back side of the tool
frame.
Install the M3 screw. Make sure the small markings on the front of the
hand tool frame match up. See Figure 5.
Follow step 3 to 5 for the lower tooling except through the front side of
the tool frame and install the M3 screw. Be sure the small markings
on the lower tooling line up with upper tooling.
Slowly close the tool handles to align upper and lower tooling
together. Tighten the M3 screws and continue squeezing the tool
handles until the hand tool swings open.
Reinstall the locator by following the Instructions in the locator
replacement section.

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made
aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
See Figure 6.

3. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the
tool.
4. 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

crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight automotive oil) used
at the oil points, every 1,000 crimps or 3 months, will significantly enhance the tool life.
5. 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.
6. 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.

The tool will open easily by using a small flat screwdriver pressing up on the ratchet release lever in the
movable handle. The handle should be partially closed.
See Figure 7.
How to Adjust Tool Preload
See Figure 8
This hand tool is factory preset to 210 N (47 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:

6. Re-install the M3 washer and M3 screw.
7. Re-crimp a new sample and check the crimp specifications or conduct a pull test after tool handle preload
force is adjusted.
