Crimping Terminals
1.
Hold the airhead crimp tool with the locator facing up. Insert the closed-end connector in the
slot (8). Make sure the shoulder of the connector is resting on the locator plate. See Figure 1.
2.
Place the pre-twisted wire into the closed-end connector, and then press the lever on the air
tool. See Figures 2 and 3. Release the lever after jaws have closed.
Note: The tamper-proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
Caution: Never operate this tool without the supplied safety shield in place. Never place fingers in
the tool nest.
Note: Whenever crimping without the locator, make sure the seam of the terminal is oriented up
or down in the tool if using unbrazed product because this will provide higher pull force values.
3.
Remove the crimp and inspect for
proper crimp location, and check for
insulation closure. Molex offers a
Crimp Inspection Handbook for closed
barrel industrial product.
