To Achieve IPC-A-620 Class 2 Crimps, the following over-all wire insulation diameter ranges are recommended:
Profile 22: 1.15 – 1.30mm (.045-.051 inch) (UL1061 - 1.25mm Dia.)
Profile 24: 1.25 – 1.40mm (.049-.055 inch) (UL1007 – 1.40mm Dia.)
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.
Note:
A crimp height chart is provided with this document as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands,
insulation diameters, and durometers available, actual crimp height measurements may very slightly. An
occasional, destructive, pull force test should be preformed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value Must exceed
the Minimum pull force specifications listed.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Crimp only the Molex terminals
listed in the scope for this tool. Do not
crimp hardened objects as damage can
occur to the tool frame and/or crimp dies.
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. See Figure 1.
