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.
3. Oiler (63801-7240) required to crimp terminals to improve tooling life and also to minimize
the crimp extrusions. See 63800-4900 FineAdjust manual.

NOTES

1. Molex recommends that an extra perishable tooling kit be maintained at your facility.
2. Verify tooling alignment by manually cycling the press and applicator before crimping under
power. Check that all screws are tight.
3. Slugs, terminals, dirt and oil should be kept clear of the work area.
4. Wear safety glasses at all times.
5. For recommended maintenance, refer to the FineAdjust manual.

CAUTION: This applicator should only be used in a press with a shut height of 135.8mm
(5.346”). Tooling damage could result at a lower setting.

CAUTION: To prevent injury, never operate this applicator without the guards supplied with
the press or wire-processing machine in place. Reference the press or wire processing
manufacturer’s instruction manual.

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