Tool Qualification Notes

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 crimp hand tools.

7. Using the tool under magnification is recommended to achieve optimal crimp quality and

consistency.

Bell Mouth Adjustment Notes

The 200218-2000 hand crimp tool features an adjustable locator that allows the operator to

increase or decrease the bell mouth and brush length specifications.

Note: The tool was set up in manufacturing and used to produce the included crimp samples,

but it may be necessary to adjust the tool because of variations in terminal production.

Use a 1.5mm hex wrench to adjust to bell mouth size and brush length.

The adjustment screw is accessible through the hole

in the side of the terminal locator on the back of the

hand crimp tool. See Figure 1.

To increase bell mouth and brush length, turn the

screw clockwise.

To decrease bell mouth and brush length, turn the

screw counterclockwise.
