1.
This tool should only be used for the connectors and wire sizes specified on this sheet.
2.
Variations in tools, connectors, wire stranding, and insulation types may affect termination height.
3.
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.
4.
Terminated height should be used as the final criteria for an acceptable crimp. Pull force is a reference only.
5.
Molex does not certify crimp
hand tools.
SETUP
Connector Preparation
Trim one connector off the
molded chain using a razor
blade, as shown below. See
Figure 2.
When trimming the connector off the molded chain, be careful to not accidentally close the connector partway.
If the connector is closed too far, wires will be unable to fit into it.
Termination Blade Position
To allow the un-terminated connector to fit in the tool, the termination blade must be raised. To raise the
termination blade, push the bar on the top of the tool in the “open” direction until it stops. See Figure 3.
