▲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. See figure to the right. (Some tools with
multiple crimp pockets may not have the
“overlap” profile on all pockets).
Wire Feedin Orientation
This Hand Tool was developed for (2) 18 AWG wires in a vertically stacked orientation. See the following
illustrations below.
CONDITIONS:
After crimping, the conductor profiles should measure the following (See notes below).

 Wires should be placed vertically for double crimp. See figure above.
 To Achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
Profile A: 3.35-4.5 mm (.132-.180 inch)
Profile B: 3.35-4.5 mm (.132-.180 inch)
Profile C: 3.05-4.5 mm (.120-.180 inch)
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
1. Insert the Anvils into the bottom slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 10 long BHCS and tighten in place.
2. Insert the Punches into the top slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 18 long BHCS and tighten in place. See
Figure 1.

Locator Installation and Removal
Follow the steps below to install
or replace the locator. See
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. Swing 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. Slip 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. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding
charts.
2. Swing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool
shown in Figure 3. Some 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. See Figure 4.
3. 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, B, or
C profile on the hand tool. See Figure 4.
4. Return the locator to its original position.
5. Insert the proper wire over the terminal. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire.
See Figure 5 and 6.
6. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.

. 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.
8. 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. See Figure A
or B for lubrication points.
4. Store the tool in a clean and dry area when not in use.

Miscrimps or Jams for Crimp Hand Tools Only
(See Fi ure 10
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 rotating the small slotted screw marked with an arrow. See Figure 10.
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. Should 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. mm (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. See 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.
