Terminal Series No. 5298 Wire Size AWG 18 20 22 mm2 0.80 0.50 0.35 D mm 1.05 - 1.15 Dimensions (Figure 1) E-E In. mm In. 0.041 - 0.045 1.70 - 1.78 0.067 - 0.070 F (Ref.) mm In. Pull Force Minimum N Lb. 1.40 13.3 0.055 3 The crimp on this terminal is not an electrical crimp; the final soldering operation is the electrical connection. This minimum pull force is what should be expected when pulling the terminal with both insulation and conductor crimped. Notes: 1. This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet. 2. This tool is not adjustable for crimp height. Variations in tools, terminals, wire stranding, and insulation types may affect crimp height. 3. This tool is intended for AWG conductors with UL1015 insulation. It may not give a good insulation crimp support for other insulation styles. 4. Molex does not repair hand tools (see Warranty on page 3). The replacement parts listed are the only parts available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling is damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased. 5. Pull force should be used as the final criteria for an acceptable crimp. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping Handbook 63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp testing. 6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools. OPERATION Open the tool by squeezing the handles together, at the end of the closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism will release the handles, and the hand tool will spring open. Figure 2 Preparing Terminals for Crimping The terminals must be cut from the reel as shown. See Figure 2. The carrier strip hole is used to assist in loading the terminal in position over the crimp anvils. The carrier strip will help maintain terminal position during crimping and can be broken off after the crimp is complete. Crimping Terminals LOCATOR 1. Load the terminal with carrier strip into the proper crimp profile. Make sure the carrier strip pilot hole fits over the positioning pin. 2. Place the properly stripped wire into the open terminal barrel. Push POSITIONING the wire into the tool until the end of the wire contacts the wire stop, PIN making sure that all wire strands are inside of the conductor barrel. TERMINAL Figure 3 See Figures 3 and 4. CARRIER STRIP 3. While holding the wire with one hand, slowly squeeze the tool handles together to close the tool jaws until the ratchet mechanism releases. At this point the handles can be released and will spring open. 4. Remove the crimped terminal and inspect for acceptable crimp attributes.

CONDUCTOR PUNCH Maintenance It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps: INSULATION PUNCH BARREL PUNCH WIRE CONDUCTOR 1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean ANVIL brush, or soft, lint free cloth. 2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool. WIRE STOP 3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not LOCATOR oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like TERMINAL any other equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a RM maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil (such INSULATION BARREL ANVIL as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000 ANVIL Figure 4 crimps or 3 months, will significantly enhance the tool life. 4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application. 5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area. Miscrimps or Jams Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, Do Not force the handles open or closed. The tool will open easily by lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 6. Warranty This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 30 days. Should such a defect occur, we will repair or exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange will not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use only. Any clamping, fixturing, or use of handle extensions voids this warranty. CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided. CAUTIONS: 1. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low volume or field repair. This tool is NOT intended for production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided. 2. Insulated rubber handles are not protection against electrical shock. 3. Wear eye protection at all times. 4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.
