FEATURES
Directly adapts to most automatic wire processing machines. This applicator ships from the factory set-up in the
up-stroke condition for bench-top operation; however it will directly adapt to most automatic wire processing
machines. Please review the applicator manual that shipped with your tool and is linked on the Molex website.
Applicator designed to industry standard mounting and shut height 135.80mm (5.346")
Quick set-up time; plus the crimp height, track and feed adjustments can be set without removing the applicator
from the press
Fine adjustment allows users to achieve target with little effort by adjusting in increments of .015mm (.0006") for
conductor crimp height and .063mm (.0025") for insulation height
Independent adjustment rings allow users to quickly adjust the conductor or insulation crimp height without
affecting each other.
Optimum terminal feed/indexing can be obtained with the optional terminal guide assembly, Order No. 63830-
0120. See page 6.
Easy change-over for terminal feeding (up-stroke or down-stroke). Applicator shipped as up-stroke.

On Mini-Fit Sr. 8 AWG terminal, the insulation is stripped in both the conductor and insulation grips.
∗∗
8 AWG Hi-Flex wire (665 strands). This type of wire has very fine strands.
Please note:
Extra precaution must be maintained
during stripping operation to prevent loosing or breaking strands. Lost or broken strands may result in lower pull force strength and
broken strands may cause a possible electric shock or shortage.
1. Crimp terminals to stranded copper wire only.
2. Lubricate terminals plated in precious metals using Molex Oiler 63801-7240.

Tool Qualification Notes:
1. Pull Force should be measured with no influence from the insulation crimp.
2. The above specifications are guidelines to an optimum crimp.

Special Note:
1. Cut-off Tab length below 0.30mm may cause the box dimension to be under recommendation. See Figure 1.
2. Wire insulation should not be crimped and insulation grip area should be formed to contain wire strands only.
3. Changing the insulation height setting may be needed to achieve the dimensions of the insulation grip in
Section A-A. See Figure 1.
4. If wire strands are missed from conductor crimps, the operator should place the wires in the terminal, in the
correct location, without using the wire stop/ stripper for locating the wire.
