▲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).
CONDITIONS:
After crimping, the conductor profiles should measure the following (See notes below).

 To Achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
Profile A: 2. 0- . 0mm (.090-.1 0 inch)
Profile B: 1.90-2.90mm (.075-.114 inch)
Profile C: 1.52-2.70mm (.060-.106 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 on this page.
CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage
can occur to the tool or die.

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.
Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2. Swing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool shown in Figure
4. 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.
. When using the locator, press down on the wire stop on the locator
as shown in Figure 4. 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.
4. Return the locator to its original position. Insert the proper wire over
the terminal. Some large O.D. wires may need to be placed into the
terminal before closing the tool. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire. See Figure 5.
5. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
6. 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.
7. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
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.
. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp
location.
Locator Replacement
See the parts list on the last page of this document for the
proper locator order number. Follow the steps below to
replace the locator.
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Swing the existing locator open and away from the hand tool.
. 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. See Figure 6.

4. Replace it with the proper locator by putting
over the brass pivot shaft and snapping it
into place.
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.
. 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 fine
piece of equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Use a
0 weight automotive (light) oil used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or months, shown in Figure 7A or
7B 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
pressing the ratchet release lever. See Figure 8.
How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 8)
This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45 LBS.
preload. It may be necessary over the life of the
tool 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 or fold back the handle grip from the handle to expose the eccentric axle and setting wheel.
2. Remove the locking screw with a 2mm hex wrench. The wrench set (6 810-0101), is not supplied. It is sold
separately from the hand tool.
. Turn the eccentric axle and setting wheel with the wrench or pliers Counter-clockwise (CCW) to increase
handle force.
4. Replace the locking screw, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to locking screw.

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 0
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: 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.
. Wear eye protection at all times.
4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.
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
12.7mm (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.
% If the tool does not meet minimum pull force values, handle preload should be increased and the pull test
rerun, (See How to Adjust Preload).
% When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and
replaced.
