Hand Crimp Tool for Standard .093”Pin and Socket Crimp Terminals
OPERATION
CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects damage can
occur to the tool or die.
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.
JAWS OPEN
LOCATOR
Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts. Make
sure that the proper locator is mounted on the tool.
2. Swing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool shown in
Figure 2. 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 closed/crimp position.

3. When using 63811-3275 (Locator No. 1), press down on the wire stop on the locator as shown in Figure 2.
Insert the proper terminal into the proper nest opening. Make sure when choosing the nest opening, it will
correspond with the A or B profile on the hand tool.
4. Return the locator to its original position.
5. Insert the proper wire over the terminal. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire. See Figure 3.
6. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.

3. Gently slip the wire into the terminal, and then position the
insulation and stripped strands into the terminal insulation and

INSULATION TOOLING
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 on pages 2 and 3.

Locator Change Over
Figure 3A
Two styles of locators are provided with the crimp hand tool 63811-3200. They are locator no. 1 (63811-3275),
which is black and locator no.2 (63811-3276), which is gray. Make sure the desired style of locator is installed for
the proper terminal and wire. Follow the steps below to change the locators.
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. See Figure 4.
4. Replace it with the desired locator by putting over the brass pivot shaft and snapping it into place.

Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made
aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance
steps:
JAWS
OPEN
PRESS DOWN
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with

PIVOT SHAFT
a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage
the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing
SWING
surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality
machine oil. Do not oil excessively. The 63811-3200 LOCATOR
OPEN
was engineered for durability but like any fine piece of
Figure 4
equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a
maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light
oil such as 30 weights automotive oil used at the oil points shown in Figure 6, 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
LUBRICATION POINTS
(BOTH SIDES) LIGHT OIL
(EVERY 3 MONTHS OR
5,000 CRIMPS)
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 pressing the ratchet release
lever (See Figure 6).
How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 6)
This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45 LBS. preload. It
may be necessary over the life of the tool to adjust tool
handle preload force. Listed below are the steps required
to adjust the crimping force of the hand tool to obtain
proper crimp conditions:
Figure 5
1. Remove or fold back the handle grip from the handle to expose the eccentric axle.
2. Remove the locking screw with a 2mm hex wrench. The wrench set (63810-0101), is not supplied. It is sold
separately from the hand tool.
3. Turning the eccentric axle counter-clockwise (CCW) will increase handle force.
4. Replace the locking screw, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to locking screw.
5. Replace the handle grip.
6. Check the crimp specifications after tool handle preload force is adjusted.

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 Molex Terminal specified for crimping with the tool.
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.
If the tool does not meet minimum pull force values, handle preload should be increased and the pull test
rerun, (See How To Adjust Preload).
When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and
replaced.
