Using the proper interconnect manufacturer’s tooling is essential to meet many of the industry standards and to maintain the connector manufacturer’s product warranty.
OVERVIEW Molex recommends specific tools to achieve the best performance from our products, and here are some of the reasons why: 1. Safety: A UL specification signifies the safety, security, and reliability of an end product; however, using the manufacturer-recommended tool and crimp terminal is often mandatory to comply with UL requirements. Using a generic tool could invalidate the UL specification of the end product. 2. Reliability: Optimal performance data provided by the component manufacturer is based on the use of the correct tooling; therefore, such specifications may not be achieved without the correct tooling. To ensure reliability, you should always use the specified tool. 3. Wasted Resources: Using the wrong tooling can result in multiple failed terminations, which leads to waste as well as unreliable results, compromising your operations and preventing them from running smoothly. 4. Warranty Invalidation: Warranties and assurances of performance often rely on the use of recommended tooling, and failure to do so will compromise any existing warranties.

5. Peace of Mind: Using specified manufacturer-recommended tooling can mean access to unmatched customer service and support to deliver the highest quality result as well as the peace of mind that you have not compromised on the quality of the end product.
