SCOPE
Products: AviKrimp /InsulKrimp Female Quick Disconnect 14–16 AWG. This tool head is intended for use in
the 19279-0001 (AT-200) either hand held or with optional bench adapter 19078-0307 (ATBA) and foot switch.
Testing
Mechanical
The tensile test, or pull test, is a means of evaluating the mechanical properties of the crimped connections. The
following charts show the UL specifications for various wire sizes. The tensile strength is shown in pounds and
indicates the minimum acceptable force to break or separate the terminal from the conductor.

OPERATION
Refer to the instruction manual for the 19279-0001 (AT-200) for
mounting this crimp tool head.
Crimping Terminals
1. There are 2 tab locator blades supplied with the tool. One is for
.187 and .250 tabs; the other is for .205 tabs and .110 tabs.
Make sure the proper blade is installed on the top of the locator
and the other is stored on the bottom of the locator.
2. Insert the wire into the terminal. Push the terminal and wire
onto the tab locator all the way to the stop in the proper color-
coded nest. The barrel of the terminal should be up. See
Figure 1.
Caution: Never operate this tool without the supplied safety shield in place. Never place fingers in the tool
nests.
3. Push on the wire to assure it is still fully seated in the terminal. The wires end should butt against the wire stop
stamped into each terminal (See Figure 2 and 3). Cycle the tool.
4. Remove the crimp and inspect for proper crimp location, and check for insulation closure. Molex offers a Crimp
Inspection Handbook for closed barrel industrial product. See our website or contact your sales engineer.
5. If the insulation part of the crimp needs to be adjusted, first disconnect the air source and loosen the M4 screw
on the bottom tool jaw and insert a 3/32 hex wrench (supplied) into the bottom of the lower die. See Figure 4.
A clockwise (CW) rotation decreases insulation crimp while a counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation increases
insulation crimp. After adjusting retighten the M4 screw. Reconnect the air source.
Note: Whenever crimping without the locator, make sure the seam of the terminal is oriented up or down in
the tool if using unbrazed product, as this will provide higher pull force values.

Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made
aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance
steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a
clean brush, or soft, lint-free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage
the tool.
3. Make certain all pins, pivot points and bearing surfaces
are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. This tool was engineered for
durability, but like any fine piece of equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of
trouble-free crimping. Use a light oil, such as 30 weight automotive oil at the oil points shown in Figure 4,
every 5,000 crimps or monthly will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration.
4. When tool is not in use store the tool in a clean, dry area.
Tool Calibration
A Certificate of Calibration (see last page) was supplied with the
tool. To recalibrate this tool, pin gauge measurements should be
taken in each conductor nest and compared to this chart. The tool
should be lubricated prior to recalibration to ensure consistent
measurements.
