11/4/2023 0 Comments Dupont connector crimp toolThe results aren’t quite as nice as the HT-95 but pretty close. The insulation crimp requires a bit more finesse, you have to squeeze it enough to make the crimp snug but not enough to over crimp but because you crimp each separately this is no problem. The correct way to crimp the conductor is to line the far end of the conductor crimp with the face of the tool so that the strand side hangs over the edge by about 0.5mm. It even makes a bellmouth at the side where the strands enter the crimp barrel. The conductor crimp die is the correct size for 22-28 AWG wire, just bear down on it and it’ll crimp it good enough that the strands will break before they come out. Posted in Crimp tools and connectors Post navigationīest “affordable” tool I have found that does mini-PV style contacts is the Hozan P-706. I have listed a number of others to consider on this page. This tool is probably OK for people who are building temporary/non critical things, however ultimately this particular effort appears to have stopped for a cigarette just short of the finish line. I’ve since looked at another tool which gets slightly better results than this one. Its other dies are fairly standard and ones like it are found in other tools, for example the IWISS SN-28B. It does so-so job of AWG 28 on “DuPont” contacts. It’s very encouraging to see a budget tool specifically designed for these contacts. You could double it over to mitigate this to an extent. In the long term, moisture may get into that and cause troubles. For AWG 24 wire, there’s far too much force on the insulation, crushing and damaging it, but the wire part is reasonable.įor AWG 28 wire, force is about right on the insulation, but there’s not enough force on the wire part. It’s doing the right thing, wrapping the insulation crimp instead of making a mess of it.
