Testing

Mec anical

The tensile test, or pull test, is a means of evaluatin the mechanical properties of the crimped connections. The

followin charts show the UL specifications for various wire sizes. The tensile stren th is shown in pounds and

indicates the minimum acceptable force to break or separate the terminal from the conductor.

OPERATION

Crimping Terminals

Open the tool by first closin the jaws sufficiently for the ratchet mechanism to

release.

1. Place the terminal centerin the barrel in the lower jaw as shown in

Fi ure 1.

2. Partially close the hand tool jaws until the connector is held snu in place.

See Fi ure 2.

3. Insert the properly stripped wire into the terminal barrel.

See Fi ure 2 and 3.

4. Complete the crimp by closin the hand tool handles until they release.

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. Molex offers a Crimp

Inspection Handbook for closed barrel industrial product. See our

website or contact your sales en ineer.

Crimping Butt Splices

1. Position the splice into the proper color-coded nest.

2. Partially close the tool to hold the splice in place.

3. Insert the properly stripped wire into the splice. The wires end should

butt a ainst the tab in the terminal (See Fi ure 4). Cycle the tool.

4. Remove the crimped splice. Inspect for proper crimp location.

5. Rotate the butt splice terminal 180°, so that the opposite end of splice is

in the nest.

6. Repeat steps 2 thru 4.

Note: Make sure the seam of the terminal is oriented up or down in the tool if usin unbrazed product, as

this will provide hi her pull force values.

Maintenance

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the followin 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 dama e the tool.

3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearin surfaces are

protected with a thin coat of hi h quality machine oil. Do not

oil excessively. The 64001-3800 was en ineered for

durability, but like any fine piece of equipment, it needs

cleanin and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble-

free crimpin . A li ht oil, such as 30 wei ht automotive oil

used at the oil points shown in Fi ure 5, every 5,000 crimps or

3 months will si nificantly enhance the tool life and ensure a

stable calibration.

4. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent

objects from becomin lod ed in the crimpin 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 pressin the ratchet release lever. See Fi ure 6.

How to Adjust Crimp Force

(See Figure 7)

Over the life of the tool, it may be necessary to adjust tool handle

preload force. Listed below are the steps required to adjust the

crimpin force of the hand tool to obtain proper crimp conditions:

This tool is factory preloaded at 48-65 LBS.

1. Loosen the stud nut on the front of the handle with

a screwdriver.

2. Insert a screwdriver in the slot of the stud (on the

back of the tool) and adjust the force. Clockwise

(CW) will increase the force, counter clockwise

(CCW) will decrease the handle force. See Fi ure

3. Reti hten the nut while holdin the stud on the

front of the tool.

4. Check the crimp specifications after tool force is adjusted.

Quality Assurance Test

To check the quality of this tool, pin au e measurements should be taken

in each conductor nest and compared to this chart. The tool should be

lubricated before the quality assurance test to ensure consistent

measurements. Handle preload is factory set to 48-65 LBS See How to

Adjust Crimp Force. See Fi ure 7. If the tool does not meet the

specifications below, durin the quality assurance test, then the tool should

be disqualified and a new tool purchased.

Hand held crimpin tools are intended for low volume, prototypin , or repair requirements only.

Caution: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.

Cautions

1. Termination quality is dependent on proper profile choice. Molex customers should independently verify that

the termination they intend to use, meets their quality and performance needs because this tool does not have

a terminal locator. Not all terminal, wire, and profile combinations will achieve minimum pull force

requirements, or provide an acceptable crimp form if the terminal is not positioned as described in these

operation instructions. As such, Molex makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the performance or

reliability of the crimp, or the appropriateness of the customer’s application.

2. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low volume or field repair. This tool is NOT intended for

production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.

3. Insulated rubber handles are not protection a ainst electrical shock.

4. Wear eye protection at all times.
