▲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.
(Some tools with multiple crimp pockets may not have
the “overlap” profile on all pockets).

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.

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.

Lift the wire stop blade up.
Insert the terminal fully into the correct profile until the terminal is fully seated and stops.
Bring down the wire stop blade.
Slide the pre-stripped wire into the wire stop blade. See Figure 1. Be sure to hold the wire in place until the
terminal is fully crimped. See Figure 2.
5. Close the tool until the ratchet releases, the tool handles will then spring open.
6. Lift the wire stop blade up if it is still in down position.
7. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.

durability but like any other equipment it needs cleaning
and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble
free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3
months, will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies,
and store the tool in a clean, dry area.
Miscrimps or Jams
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, Do Not force the handles open or
closed. The tool will open easily by lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 6.
Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital
components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 30
days. Should such a defect occur, we will repair or exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange will
not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use only. Any clamping,
fixturing, or use of handle extensions voids this warranty.
CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
CAUTIONS:
1. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low volume or field repair. This tool is NOT intended for
production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
2. Insulated rubber handles are not protection against electrical shock.
3. Wear eye protection at all times.
4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.

Hand Crimp Tool: for Quick Disconnect, High Reliability Terminal (HRT)
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 above). 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.
CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling.
Applications for the Modular Crimp Head
WARNING: NEVER operate, service, install, or adjust this Modular Crimp Head without proper instruction
and without first reading and understanding the instructions in the proper Manual or Specification Sheet.
See Chart below for the correct Manual or Specification Sheet.
WARNING: NEVER install tooling or service this tool while it is into any power source. Disconnect the
power by unplugging or turn off the Actuator from its power source.
CAUTION: Keep fingers away from the crimping area when operating this tool. It may cause severe injury.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when operating or serving this tool.
