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.
CRIMP SPECIFICATIONS

CAUTION:
Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can
occur to the tool or die.
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 manual
as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of
wires, strands, insulation diameters, and
durometer 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 specification.
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. See Figure 1.
