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). OVERLAP FORM GEOMETRY PUNCH OVERLAP INSULATION CRIMP CONDITIONS: WIRE ANVIL After crimping, the conductor profiles should measure the following (see notes below).

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 durometers, actual crimp height measurements may very slightly. An occasional, destructive, pull force test should be preformed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value must exceed the minimum pull force specifications listed. CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can occur to the tool or die. INSTALLATION To install the Tool Kit into the Power Crimp Head follow the steps below: Anvils and Punches Installation 1. Insert the Anvils into the bottom slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 10 long BHCS and tighten in place. 2. Insert the Punches into the top slots of the nest. Install the M4 x 18 long BHCS and tighten in place. See Figure 1. Locator Installation and Removal Follow the steps below to install or replace the locator. See Figure 2.

Position the locator with the hole over the brass pivot shaft and snap it into place. To remove the locator 1. Open the crimp hand tool. 2. Swing the existing locator open and away from the hand tool. 3. Firmly press down on the brass pivot shaft with your thumb, while pulling the locator up. Slip the locator off the top of the brass pivot shaft.

Crimping Terminals 1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts. 2. Turn the Locator Lock Latch down to unlock. See Figure 3. 3. Swing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool shown in Figure 4. Some terminals with large insulation grips may interfere with the crimp tooling when swinging the locator into position. The terminal must then be loaded into the locator in the LATCH LOCKED closed/crimp position. See Figure 5. LATCH UNLOCKED 4. Press down on the wire stop on the locator as shown Figure 3 in Figure1. Insert the proper terminal into the proper nest opening. Make sure when choosing the nest opening, it will correspond with the A, B or C profile on the hand tool. 5. Return the locator to its original position. 6. Turn the Locator Lock Latch up to lock. Make sure that the terminal is visually centered over the punch.

Insert the proper wire over the terminal. 8. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire. See Figure 6 and 7. 9. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed. Release handles to open the jaws. 10. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pressing down on the wire stop and gently pulling on the wire. The terminal locator can be in either position. 11. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.

Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lintfree cloth. 2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool. Figure 7 3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces in the tool head are protected with a TERMINAL INSULATION ANVIL CONDUCTOR ANVIL thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. This tool was engineered for durability, but like any fine piece of equipment, it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. The use of light oil, such as 30 weight automotive oil, every 5,000 crimps or monthly, will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration. See Figure 8A or 8B for lubrication points. 4. Store the tool in a clean and dry area when not in use. Miscrimps or Jams for Crimp Hand Tools Only (See Figure 11) 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 rotating the small slotted screw marked with an arrow. See Figure 11. Warranty This tool kit is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only.

Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool. CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided. Certification Molex does not certify or re-certify commercial grade hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for customers to re-certify hand tools. % This tool is qualified to pull force only. To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped 12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation. Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than 25mm (1.00”) per minute. See the Molex web site for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more information on pull testing. % When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and replaced. % This tool is very difficult to disassemble and reassemble. Customer repair is not recommended. The chart below shows all applications for this Tool Kit. Tool Kit Order No. Tool Tool Power Head Adapter Figure Order no.
