 Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 6:07 am Post subject: Crimping of machined D-sub pins with 4-Way Indent Pin Crimpe |
 |
|
I've become a bit concerned about the integrity of my crimped D-sub pins
and socket. I've been giving each connection a tug after crimping and I
just had one come off. Upon examination, I can't see the difference
between that connection and others I recently made.
So the question is, what is the proper technique for crimping on
Machined D-sub pins with a 4-way indent pin crimper? I've searched
Bob's site and the Web in general and can't find any how-to
information. None came with the tool I obtained from Stein.
In particular, how should the tool be adjusted? How far should the wire
be stripped (should the insulation be clear of the pin or should it be
in the pin)?
Should I solder? Avoid the crimp pins altogether and use solder-on
D-subs? Use the 'regular' crimp on, stamped pins instead? Crimp and
solder (the hole in the barrel of the pin suggests that may be an option).
Advice or links are welcome. Thanks

Bill,
Marc has posted a good document on his website concerning connectors. http://www.verticalpower.com/documents.html
I've picked up the Daniels crimper of Ebay, so I can't offer any advice on the 4way ident crimper.
I would recommend not using solder. I think that is just putting a ticking time bomb into your panel.
