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. Because of 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 performed 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 because damage can occur to the tool frame 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.
Crimping Terminals
1.
Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2.
Make sure the center of the locator is in the down position. With the locator attached, push the locator button
on the back of the hand tool to bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.
3.
While holding the locator button in, load the terminal into the proper nest opening in the locator based on the
wire gauge or terminal type markings on the hand tooling. See Figure 3.
