▲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 a normal condition for this
tool. ee figure to the right. ( ome tools with
multiple crimp pockets may not have the
“overlap” profile on all pockets).
CONDITIONS:
After crimping, the conductor profiles should
measure the following (see notes below).

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.
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, actual crimp height measurements may very slightly. An occasional,
destructive, pull force test should be preformed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value must exceed the
minimum pull force specifications listed.
CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage
can occur to the tool or die.

INSTALLATION
To install the Tool Kit into the Power Crimp Head follow the steps below:
Anvils and Punches Installation

2. Insert the Punches into the top slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 18 long BHC and tighten in place. ee
Figure 1.
Locator Installation and Removal
Follow the steps below to install or replace the locator. ee Figure 2.
To install the locator
1. Position the locator with the hole over the brass pivot shaft and snap it into place.
To remove the locator
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. wing the existing locator open and away from the
hand tool.
3. Firmly press down on the brass pivot shaft with your
thumb, while pulling the locator up. lip the locator off
the top of the brass pivot shaft.
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.
Crimpin Terminals
1. elect the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2. Turn the Locator Lock Latch down to unlock. ee Figure 3.

3. wing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool shown in Figure 4. ome terminals with large insulation
grips may interfere with the crimp tooling when swinging the locator into position. The terminal must then be
loaded into the locator in the closed/crimp position. ee Figure 5.
4. Press down on the wire stop on the locator as shown in Figure 5. Insert the proper terminal into the proper nest
opening. Make sure when choosing the nest opening, it will correspond with the A or B profile on the hand tool.
5. Return the locator to its original position.
6. Turn the Locator Lock Latch up to lock. Make sure that the terminal is visually centered over the punch.
7. Insert the proper wire over the terminal.
8. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire. ee Figure 6 and 7.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
9. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
10. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pressing down on the wire stop and gently pulling on
the wire. The terminal locator can be in either position.
11. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.

For the Battery Power Tool:
1. Cycle the Battery Power Tool to crimp the terminal to the wire.
2. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pressing down on the wire stop and gently pulling on
the wire. The terminal locator can be in either position.
3. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.
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 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 in the tool head are protected with a
thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil
excessively. This tool was engineered for
durability, but like any fine piece of equipment, it
needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum
service life of trouble-free crimping. The use of light oil, such as 30 weight automotive oil, every 5,000 crimps
or monthly, will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration. ee Figure 8A or 8B for
lubrication points.
4. tore the tool in a clean and dry area when
not in use.
Miscrimps or Jams for Crimp Hand
Tools Only (See Fi ure 11)
hould 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 rotating the small slotted screw marked
with an arrow. ee Figure 11.
Warranty
This tool kit is for electrical terminal crimping
purposes only. This tool kit 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. hould such a defect occur, we will repair or exchange the tool kit free of charge.
This repair or exchange will not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools.
CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling.

CAUTIONS:
1. 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.
CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
Certification
Molex does not certify or re-certify commercial grade hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for
customers to re-certify hand tools.
% This tool is qualified to pull force only. To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped
12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation. Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than
25mm (1.00”) per minute. ee the Molex web site for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more information on pull
testing.
% When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and
replaced.
% This tool is very difficult to disassemble and reassemble. Customer repair is not recommended.
