(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 terminals 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 6. 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. Note 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. The pull force value must exceed the minimum pull force specifications listed. Doc.
