C.Statistical Process Control (Summary)
The Molex Terminator is an easy to use tool for the termination of a variety of Molex crimp terminals.
Production flexibility is obtained through the use of simple interchangeable tooling. The tooling is
inexpensive, and unlike a modular applicator, all crimp height and terminal feed adjustments are located
in the press. The terminator die can be installed in the TM42, TM40 presses or Base Unit adaptor, and is
ideally suited for mid-volume bench operation.
The Molex T2 terminator is the newer version tool that allows for track adjustment. It contains the identical
perishable tooling as the Molex FineAdjust applicator. (Center carrier excluded)

1.6Safety & Work Area Check
Check that the crimping position is ergonomic for the
operator’s size. A bench height of 762 to 813 mm (30
to 32 inches) will provide operator comfort, and allow
both feet to rest on the ground. The foot pedal should
be positioned for ease of reach.
Check that the press position is located paralleled and
approximately 150 mm (6 inches) from the edge of the
table. A chair or stool, with adjustable height and
backrest should be provided for maximum comfort and
back support to the operator. Adjust press light to give
appropriate visibility to the work area.
Check that the operators and observers are wearing
approved safety goggles when the press is in operation
and/or service.
