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.

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.
