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 conductor crimp height measurement should be performed. It must lie between

the minimum and maximum crimp height 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.

Notes

1. This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet.

2. Variations in tools, terminals, wire stranding and insulation types may affect crimp height.

3. This tool is intended for metric conductor sizes. It may not give good insulation crimp support

for insulation sizes outside of the specified range.

4. Molex does not repair hand tools. See warranty on page 5. The replacement parts listed are the

only parts available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling become damaged or worn, a new

tool must be purchased.

5. Conductor crimp height should be used as the final criterion for an acceptable crimp. Refer to

Molex Quality Crimping Handbook 63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp

testing.

6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.

TERMINAL

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.

1. With the hand tool in the open position, pivot the

terminal locator open by pulling up on the locator

knob, and lift the wire stop blade. See Figure 1.

2. Insert the terminal into the profile until the terminal is

fully seated and stops. Make sure the wire stop blade

is fully seated on the terminal behind the conductor

grip section.

3. Gently pivot the locator closed.

4. Bring down the wire stop blade.

5. Slide the pre-stripped wire into the terminal, making sure to aim the wire brush toward

the tip point on the wire stop blade. See Figure 2. Align the wire so that it is parallel and

sitting into the terminal. Maintain a light and constant pressure on the wire that is

seated in the terminal at all times. (Do not let go of the wire.) Be sure to hold the wire

and terminal in place until the terminal is fully crimped. See Figure 3.

6. Close the tool until the ratchet releases.

7. Lift the wire stop blade.

8. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.

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

Note: To maintain good brush control and a consistent bell mouth, the crimping instructions must

be followed.

TERMINAL LOCATOR REPLACEMENT

This section describes the procedure for changing locators:

Removal

1. With the tool in the open position, pivot the terminal locator outward.

2. Remove the M4 BHCS. See Figure 4.

Installation

1. Place the locator on the hand tool. Install the M4 BHCS. See Figure 4.

2. Tighten the screw just enough to hold the locator. Make sure the locator can still float freely

with hand pressure.

3. Fully insert the proper terminal into the correct profile slot until the terminal is completely

seated and stops. Then, gently pivot the locator closed.

4. With hand pressure, slowly slide the locator to the correct position. See Figure 5.

5. Gently pivot the locator open without disturbing the location.

6. Hold the locator firmly in place, and slowly tighten the M4 BHCS.

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 a 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.

4. Wipe excess oil from the hand tool, particularly from the crimping area. Oil transferred from

the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an

application.

5. When the 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 lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 9.

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, Molex will repair or

exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange 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.

CAUTIONS

1. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low-volume use or field repair. This tool is

NOT intended for production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.

2. Insulated rubber handles are not protection against electrical shock.

3. Wear eye protection at all times.

4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.

CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and

tooling.
