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 2. 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.
3.
When using the locator, press down on the wire stop on the locator as shown in Figure 2. Insert the proper
terminal into the proper nest opening. Make sure when choosing the nest opening, it will correspond with the
A or B profile on the hand tool.
4.
Return the locator to its original position.
5.
Insert the proper wire over the terminal. Some large O.D. wires may need to be placed into the terminal before
closing the tool. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire. See Figure 3.
6.
Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
7.
Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pressing down on the wire stop and gently pulling on
the wire. The terminal locator can be in either position.
8.
Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.
