This produces an overlap insulation crimp (A-620compliant). Although the insulation punch profile may appear lopsided, this is a normal condition for this tool. See figure to the right. This tool uses the overlap form on all crimp profiles. Tool Qualification Notes OVERLAP INSULATION CRIMP ANVIL WIRE 1. (Ref) means that the dimension provided is approximate because of the wide range of wires, conductor stranding, insulation diameter and insulation hardness. 2. An occasional conductor crimp height measurement should be performed. It must lie between the minimum and maximum crimp height specification. 3. Pull force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp. To ensure this, strip the wire long enough so the terminal insulation grips do not contact the wire insulation. Notes 1. This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet. 2. Variations in tools, terminals, wire stranding and insulation types may affect crimp height. 3. This tool is intended for AWG conductor sizes. It may not give good insulation crimp support for insulation sizes outside of the specified range. 4. Molex does not repair hand tools. See warranty on page 7. The replacement parts listed are the only parts available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling become damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased. 5. Conductor crimp height should be used as the final criterion for an acceptable crimp. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping Handbook 63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp testing. 6. Molex does not certify hand crimp tools. Note The crimp height chart is provided with this document as reference only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands, insulation diameters and insulation hardness available, actual crimp height measurements may vary slightly. An occasional destructive pull force test should be performed to verify the conductor crimp. The pull force value must exceed the minimum pull force specifications listed. Doc.

It is necessary to reverse the tooling along with the locator if using the left-handed application. Follow the steps below: 1. The locator must be removed before reversing the tooling. 2. Remove the M3 BHCS, which is holding the upper tooling. 3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and replace the M3 BHCS. Make sure the small markings on the front and back of the hand tool frame match up and are on the outside of the hand tool frame. See Figures 8 and 9. 4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling and tighten the M3 screws. Be sure the small markings line up. 5. Reinstall the locator by following the instructions in the locator replacement section. JAWS OPEN PULL OPEN TOOLING TOOLING M3 BHCS Figure 8 PUSH ON HANDLE MATCH UP MARKS Figure 9 MAINTENANCE FRONT BACK It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of and responsible for the following maintenance steps: 1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush or a 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 surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high-quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for 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. See Figure 10. 4. Wipe excess oil from the hand tool, particularly from the crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application. 5. When the 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. Doc.

To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire that has been stripped 12.7mm (.50”) 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 website 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 should be 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. Doc.
