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.

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.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp
hardened objects as damage can occur to the tool or die.
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.
See Figure 1.
Crimping Terminals
1.
Select the desired terminal, listed in the preceding
charts. Install the proper locator (See chart above
and see Locator Installation on page 5).
2.
Make sure the center of the locator is in the down
position. With the locator attached, push the locator button on the back of the
hand tool to bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.
