DEFINITION OF TERMS
▲Insulation Cri p 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 ( 620 – 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).
CONDITIONS:
fter crimping, the crimp profiles should measure the
following (see notes on page 4).

Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp.
The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum crimp.
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.

1. Place the terminal into the correct die profile until the terminal stopped by the locator.
2. Bring the wire stop blade down; make sure the wire stop located behind the conductor grip.
3. Place a pre-striped wire into the terminal until the end of wire touching the wire stop. See Figure 2.
4. Close the tool until the ratchet releases, the tool handles will then spring open.
5. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.
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.
Miscri ps or Ja s
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 6.

Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. ll vital
components are long life tested. ll 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. ny 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. Pull force should be used as the final criteria for an acceptable crimp. Pull force is measured with no
influence from the insulation crimp. The insulation should be stripped long (1/2 in.) so the insulation grips
on the terminal do not grip the wire insulation or the conductor. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping
Handbook 63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp testing.
6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.
CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling.
