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

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.

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

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

What Terminals can this Crimping Tool be used with?
This hand crimping tool is designed for use with Molex 50058 and 50079 series PicoBlade reeled crimp receptacle terminals with a wire size range from 32 AWG to 26 AWG. The conductor and insulation punch for the 50058 series terminals is included with the tool. The conductor and insulation punch for the 50059 series needs to be purchased separately;
Insulation punch for 50079 terminals - Molex part number 63811-3770
Conductor punch for 50079 terminals - Molex part number 63811-3702
Tool Kit (contains both items above) - Molex part number 63811-3770

Neatly attach wires to your PCB with this hand-crimping tool from Molex. It creates wire-to-board connections that link wires to terminals using the mechanical crimping technique, ensuring stable and secure connections between circuits. The ratcheting system lets you pass terminals through a locked-down carrier, efficiently producing top-quality crimps by ensuring a full crimp cycle is achieved every time. This tool accepts wire sizes ranging from 32 to 26AWG, so it's a versatile choice.

• Compatible with reeled terminals for ease of access and neat crimping
• Ergonomic design gives you precise control over delicate work

• Cable and wire management
• Telecommunications

You can use this crimping tool with Molex 50058 and 50079 series PicoBlade reeled receptacle terminals.
