Certification
Molex does not certify or re-certify hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for customers to re-certify
hand tools.
%
This tool is qualified to pull force only. To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped
12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation. Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than
25mm (1.00”) per minute. See the Molex web site for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more information on pull
testing.
%
If the tool does not meet minimum pull force values, handle preload should be increased and the pull test
rerun, (See How to Adjust Preload).
%
When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and
replaced.
