Molex Hand Crimping Tool for Reeled PicoBlade Terminals

Importance of a High-Quality Crimp

When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between conductor and terminal. The other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there any voids present, then corrosion can occur causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas tight crimp is produced preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage

Hand Crimping Tool for Reeled Terminals - Overview

From Molex, a hand crimp tool made from high quality materials designed for crimping miniature terminals on a reel. This crimping tool consists of two angled handles, a ratchet mechanism and an insulation and conductor punch. The reeled terminals are cut into 1 inch strips and inserted into a carrier that accurately aligns the terminals and holds them in place during the crimping process.

Ratchet Mechanism

The ratchet is pre-set to a specific force and remains locked until the handles of the tool are fully closed and the dies are bottomed. The handles cannot be opened until a full crimping cycle is achieved therefore prevents partial crimps. Once the cycle is complete the handles will re-openn. The ratchet also enables the operator to repeatedly produce consistent, high-quality crimps. If jamming or terminal misplacement occurs the handles can be easily opened by pushing a ratchet release lever

Key Features and Benefits

• Made from high quality materials
• Quick termination of reeled terminals
• Ratchet mechanism ensures full crimp cycle is achieved
• Ratchet release latch

Applications

This hand crimping tool is designed for use in prototype work and not designed for production

Questions and Answers

What Terminals can this Crimping Tool be used with?
