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.
Notes:
1.
This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet.
2.
This tool is not adjustable for crimp height; however crimp force is adjustable (See instructions above).
Variations in tools, terminals, wire stranding and insulation types may affect crimp height.
3.
This tool is intended for standard conductor sizes. It may not give a good insulation crimp support for all
insulation sizes.
4.
Molex does not repair hand tools (see warranty). The replacement parts listed are the only parts available for
repair. If the handles or crimp tooling is damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased.
5.
Pull force should be used as the final criteria for an acceptable crimp. Pull force is measured with no
influence from the insulation crimp. The insulation should be stripped long (1/2 in.) so the insulation grips
on the terminal do not grip the wire insulation or the conductor. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping
Handbook 63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp testing.
6.
Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.
OPERATION
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.
