Testing
Mechanical
The tensile test, or pull test, is a means of evaluating the mechanical properties of the crimped connections. The following charts
show the UL specifications for various wire sizes. The tensile strength is shown in pounds and indicates the minimum acceptable
force to break or separate the terminal from the conductor.
Wire Size (AWG) *UL - 486 A *UL - 310
16 30 30
14 50 50
12 70 70
10 80 80
UL - 310 - Quick Disconnects Couplers
*UL - 486 A - Terminals (Copper conductors only)

OPERATION
Open the tool by first closing the jaws sufficiently for the ratchet
mechanism to release.

4. Insert the properly stripped wire into the terminal barrel (See Figure 2 and 3). The wire insulation will stop against the taper of the
terminal. Cycle the tool.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
5. Remove the crimp and inspect for proper crimp location, and check for insulation closure. Molex offers a Crimp Inspection
Handbook for closed barrel industrial product. See our website or contact your sales engineer.
6. If the insulation part of the crimp needs to be adjusted, first loosen the M4 screw on the bottom tool jaw, then insert a 3/32 hex
wrench (supplied) into the bottom of the lower die (See Figure 4). A clockwise (CW) rotation decreases insulation crimp while a
counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation increases insulation crimp. After adjusting retighten the M4 screw.

Note: Whenever crimping without the locator, make sure the seam of the terminal is oriented
up or down in the tool if using unbrazed product, as this will provide higher pull force values.
Crimping Terminals
1. Adjust the locator up or down until the terminal being run sits flat
and straight in the tool.
2. Position the terminal with the barrel facing up into the color-coded
nest. Make sure the end of the terminal fits into the locator
pocket securely and the front edge of the barrel is flush against
the front edge of the locator, (See Figure 1).
3. Partially close the tool to hold the terminal in place (See Figure
2).
