Profile C:

1.58 – 1.78mm (0.062 – 0.070 inch) or UL1061

Tool Qualification Notes:

1. Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp.

2. The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum crimp.

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. Pull Force value must

exceed the Minimum pull force specifications

listed.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Crimp only the Molex terminals

listed in the scope for this tool. Do not crimp

hardened objects as damage can occur to

the tool frame and/or crimp dies.

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. See Figure 1.
