Frustrates me when I am looking for information and I have to filter through 3 paragraphs (or 10 minutes if it is a video) of introductions and backgrounds before getting to the meat of the subject. The plastic insulation should end at the edge of the crimper (it should not stick into the connection). I bought this to replace my ageing precision crimp tool, and I’m impressed with the quality of the steel, and the crimp profiles. I’ve had good luck with the IWiss Crimpers though my biggest problem is I don’t get the wire in far enough or too far in. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

The PA21 is also OK for the Molex KK connectors, but not for smaller ones such as JST PH (the PA09 does those). It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1. You can see that the strands of the wire are under the newly folded wings… and the outer wings are still open.

I don't mind saving a buck when I can but when it comes to tools I'll usually pay for the better/more versatile etc tool. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. When you need to crimp a single pin, especially if that's new - unknown pin, and especially to "not the default size" wire PA09/20/21 are indispensable.

I get nice crimps with a single pass for both insulator and conductor, but the crimp terminal needs to be inserted precisely. You also clearly and intelligently divided the article into sections, giving the reader the ability to go straight into what was most important to them. Note that this may or may not be the same slot that crimped the bare wire portion; use the one that fits the wings for the insulated portion.This handtool is designed to crimp the applicable contact in strip form, while maintaining the reliability and performance of our semi-automatic tooling. You don’t want frayed strands poking out and it helps if you can see a little bit of wire between the insulation and the wire barrel to make sure the insulation didn’t get crimped in the wire barrel.
