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
7.
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.
