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. Variations in tools, terminals and wire stranding may affect crimp

height.

3. This tool is intended for standard conductor sizes.

4. Molex does not repair hand tools. The replacement parts listed are the only parts available. 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 criterion for an acceptable crimp.

6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.

Maintenance

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of and responsible for the following

maintenance steps:

1. Keep the indenter tips free of residual color band deposits and other debris.

2. Do not immerse this tool in a cleaning solution.

3. Do not spray oil into the tool to lubricate it.

4. Do not attempt to disassemble the tool or make repairs.

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.

This is a precision hand crimp tool that should be used with care.

Tool Calibration

• Pin gauge measurements should be checked periodically in the indenter nest and compared to the numbers

listed on the gauge limit table.

• A standard go/no-no gauge tool can be used to check the indenter closure dimension.

o

Note: Molex does not sell go/no-go gauge tools or pins, but they can be purchased from an industrial

supplier.
