Insulation Crimp Note
:
Due to the terminal’s insulation grip design and/or
insulation diameter range, this tool uses “overlap” form
geometry in the insulation punch. This produces an
overlap insulation crimp (A620 – compliant). While the
insulation punch profile may appear “lopsided”, this is a
normal condition for this tool. See figure to the right.
(Some tools with multiple crimp pockets may not have
the “overlap” profile on all pockets).
CONDITIONS:
After crimping, the conductor profiles should measure the following (See notes below).

To Achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
Profile A (14):3.35-3.60mm (.132-.142 in.)
Profile B (16):3.14-3.35mm (.124-.132 in.)
Profile C (18): 2.75-2.90mm (.108-.114 in.)
Profile D (20): 3.00-3.25mm (.118-.128 in.)
Tool Qualification Notes:
1. Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp.
2. The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum crimp.
CAUTION:
Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage
can occur to the tool or die.
INSTALLATION
To install the Tool Kit into the Power Crimp Head follow the steps below:
Anvils and Punches Installation
1.
Insert the Anvils into the bottom slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 10 long BHCS and tighten in place.
2.
Insert the Punches into the top slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 18 long BHCS and tighten in place. See
Figure 1.
