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.

Hand Crimp Tool
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

TERMINAL FLUSH WITH
INSULATION TOOLING
✴ Crimping Terminals without a Locator
1. With the hand tool in the open position, select the proper profile.
2. Position the terminal in the proper profile; partially close the hand
tool until the terminal is held in place. The terminal should be
positioned so that the front of the insulation grips is flush with the
front face of the insulation tooling. See Figure 3A.
INSULATION TOOLING
3. Gently slip the wire into the terminal, and then position the
Figure 3A
insulation and stripped strands into the terminal insulation and
conductor grips. Note: No wire stop is provided. If the wire will not fit into the partially closed tool, due to large
insulation diameter, the terminal and wire must then be placed in the open tool. Applying slight downward
pressure on the wire may help hold the terminal in place while crimping.
4. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.
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.
LIFT UP
LOCATOR
Locator Change Over
Two styles of locators are provided with the crimp hand
tool 63811-3300. They are locator no. 1 (63811-3375),
which is black and locator no.2 (63811-3376), 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.

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with 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 surfaces
LUBRICATION POINTS

engineered for durability but like any fine piece of
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
Figure 5
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 pressing the ratchet release lever (See Figure 6).

Hand Crimp Tool
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: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals, applicators and
tooling.
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.
