The above terminal drawing is a generic terminal representation. It is not an image of a terminal listed in the

scope.

▲Insulation Crimp Not :

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 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).

CONDITIONS:

After crimping, the conductor profiles should measure the following.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can

occur to the tool or die.

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 .

Crimping T rminals

. Select the desired terminal listed in the

preceding charts.

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

3. While holding the locator button in, load the terminal into the proper nest opening in the locator based on the

wire gauge or terminal type markings on the hand tooling. See Figure 3.

4. Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return to the crimping position.

5. Close the tool handle until the first ratchet position engages. See Figure 4.

6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the wire stop. See Figure 5.

7. 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.

0. 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.

Not :

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.

Locator R plac m nt

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.

. 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 locators 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.

Right or L ft Hand Op ration

This hand tool has an added feature that can be

converted from a right handed application to a left

handed application. It is necessary to reverse the tooling if using the left handed application along with the locator.

. The locator must be removed before reversing the tooling.

2. Remove the M3 BHCS which is holding the upper tooling.

3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and replace the M3 BHCS. Make

sure the small markings on the front and back of the hand tool frame match

up and are on the outside of the hand tool frame. See Figure 8 and 9.

4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling and tighten the M3 screws. Be

sure the small markings line up.

5. Reinstall the locator by following the Instructions in the locator replacement

section.

Maint nanc

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and

responsible for, the following maintenance steps:

. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or 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 hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil

transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect the

electrical characteristics of an application.

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 up on the

ratchet release lever in the movable

handle. See Figure .

How to Adjust Tool Pr load (S

required to adjust the crimping force of the hand tool to obtain proper crimp conditions:

. Hold the hand tool in the palm of your hand as shown in Figure 2. Using the index finger squeeze the link

towards the top of the hand tool frame. This will release the preload adjustment wheel.

2. Rotate the setting wheel counter-clockwise (CCW) to increase handle force. The numbers will display higher.

To decrease handle force rotate the setting wheel clockwise (CW).

3. Release the link to lock the setting wheel in place.

4. Check the crimp specifications or conduct a pull test after tool handle preload force is adjusted.

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, we 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: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling.

CAUTIONS:

. 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.

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.

C rtification

Molex does not certify or re-certify hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for customers to re-certify

hand tools.

% This tool is qualified to pull force only. See the Molex web site for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more

information on pull testing.

% If the tool does not meet minimum pull force values, handle preload should be increased and the pull test

rerun, (See How to Adjust Preload).

% When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and

replaced.
