To Achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
1.
Profile A: 3.35-4.57mm (.132-.180 inch)
2.
Profile B: 3.35-4.57mm (.132-.180 inch)
3.
Profile C: 3.05-4.57mm (.120-.180 inch)
Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp.
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.
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 1. 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. See Figure 2.
