▲Insulation
Crimp Note
Due to the terminal’s insulation grip design or
insulation diameter range, this tool uses the overlap
form geometry in the insulation punch. This produces
an overlap insulation crimp (A-620-compliant).
Although 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. (Ref) means that the dimension provided is approximate because of the wide range of wires, conductor
stranding, insulation diameter and insulation hardness.
2. An occasional pull force test should be performed. It must exceed the minimum pull force specification.
3. Pull force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp. To ensure this, strip the wire long
enough so the terminal insulation grips do not contact the wire insulation.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
Crimp only the Molex terminals listed in the scope for this tool.
Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can occur to the tool frame or
crimp dies.
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.

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.

Close the tool handle until the first ratchet position engages. See Figure 4.
Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the wire stop. See Figure 5.
Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release the handles to open the jaws.

Note:
The tamper-proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
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.

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:
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown in Figure 7A with your thumb and index finger. The lower tabs of the
locator should disengage from the hand tool.

3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool. The top locator hooks should slip out of the top slots easily. See
Figure 7A.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the 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 locator’s top hooks (2)
into the hand tool top slots.
7. Rotate the locator down, and press the lower tabs into the two bottom slots of the hand tool. To secure the
locator into place, the lower tabs must snap into place on the hand tool frame.
