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 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. Cycle the
tool.
Note:
The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully
closed.
5. 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.
6. 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.
