CONDITIONS:

After crimping, the conductor profiles should measure the following (see notes on page 4).

✹The crimp on this terminal is not an electrical crimp; the final soldering operation is the electrical connection.

This minimum force is what should be expected when pulling the terminal with both insulation and

conductor crimped.

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.

Before attempting to crimp any

terminals, make sure all the inserts are

correctly placed into the upper and

lower jaws of the hand tool. See Figure

The terminals should be cut from the

reel as shown. See Figure 3. The

carrier strip may be use to assist in

crimping and can be removed after

crimp is complete.

Crimping Terminals

1. While holding onto the terminal strip with the properly strip wire, insert into the lower jaw of the hand tool until the

front of the terminal is flush with the conductor anvil insert. See Figure 4 and 5.

2. Partially close the hand tool jaws until the terminal is held snug in place.

3. Complete the crimp by closing the hand tool handles until they release.

4. 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 engineer.

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

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 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 lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 7.

How to Adjust Tool Crimp Force (See Figure 6)

It may be necessary over the life of the tool to adjust tool-crimping force. Listed below are the steps required to

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

1. Loosen the stud nut on the back of the handle.

2. With a screwdriver in the slot on the other side of the stud, adjust the force. Clockwise will increase the force,

counter clockwise will decrease the force.

3. Retighten the nut.

4. Check the crimp specifications after tool force adjustment.

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: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.

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.

Notes:

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

2. This tool is not adjustable for crimp height, however crimp force is adjustable (See instructions above).

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

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

insulation sizes.

4. Molex does not repair hand tools (see warranty above). The replacement parts listed are the only parts

available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling is damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased.

5. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.

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