SCOPE
Products: AviKrimp ®Female Quick Disconnect 10-12 AWG
Testing
Mechanical
The tensile test or pull test is a means of evaluating the mechanical properties of the crimped connections. The following charts
show the UL specifications for various wire sizes. The tensile strength is shown in pounds and indicates the minimum acceptable
force to break or separate the terminal from the conductor.

OPERATION
Open the tool by first closing the jaws sufficiently for the ratchet mechanism to
release.
Crimping Terminals
1. There are 2 Tab Locator Blades supplied with the tool. One is for .187 and .250
Tabs; the other is for .205 Tabs and .110 Tabs. Make sure the proper blade is
installed on the top of the locator and the other is stored on the bottom of the
locator.
2. Push the terminal onto the Tab Locator all the way to the stop in the color-coded
nest. The Barrel of the terminal should be up. See Figure 1.
3. Partially close the tool to hold the terminal in place. See Figure 2.
4. Insert the properly stripped wire into the terminal barrel. See Figure 2 and 3. The wires end should butt against the wire stop
stamped into each terminal. Cycle the tool.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
Remove the crimp and inspect for proper crimp location, and check for insulation closure. Molex offers a Crimp Inspection
Handbook for closed barrel industrial product. See our website or contact your sales engineer.
5. If the insulation part of the crimp needs to be adjusted, first loosen the M4 screw on the bottom tool jaw, then insert a 3/32 hex
wrench (supplied) into the bottom of the lower die (See Figure 4). A clockwise (CW) rotation decreases insulation crimp while a
counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation increases insulation crimp. After adjusting retighten the M4 screw.
Note: Whenever crimping without the locator, make sure the seam of the terminal is oriented up or down in the tool if using
unbrazed product, as this will provide higher pull force values.

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 pin, pivot points and bearing
surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high
quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. This
Hand Crimp 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. A light oil such as 30 weight automotive oil is used at the oil points shown in Figure
4, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration.
4. 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 the ratchet release lever. See Figure 5.
How To Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 5)
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 crimping force of the hand tool
to obtain proper crimp conditions:
1. Remove the screw and plastic cover washer. Note
the setting wheel position.
2. Lift the setting wheel off the axle. Turn the
eccentric axle with a screwdriver.
3. Turning the eccentric axle counter-clockwise will
increase handle force.
4. Replace the setting wheel to the axle, aligning
the nearest notch in the setting wheel to the
dowel pin.
5. Replace the plastic cover washer and screw.
6. Check the crimp specifications after tool crimp force is adjusted.

Tool Calibration
A Certificate of Calibration (see last page) was supplied with the tool. To
recalibrate this tool, pin gauge measurements should be taken in each
conductor nest and compared to this chart. The tool should be lubricated
prior to recalibration to ensure consistent measurements. Handle preload is
factory set to 25-45 LBS. See How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 5) to
recalibrate.

Warranty
Caution: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
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.
Hand held crimping tools are intended for low volume, prototyping or repair requirements only.
CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals, applicators and tooling.
