This is THE video tutorial for crimping for someone who has never done it, like me. thank you!

I agree with other comments that your video focus and steadiness and closeups really make this the video to watch for a step by step instruction to get the hang of this crimping of JST-XH connectors. Your commentary was also clear and concise. Thank you so much. I am encouraged to try again.

This is the best JST crimping video on you tube.

Hundreds of times in my life, I have gone to the internet to figure out how to do something that I'm sure is possible but that I've got no clue how to start I wish that this is what I got each time Seriously sir, I've already seen bits of at least three or four other videos on this topic and gotten nowhere, and then this gem shows up. I don't think I've ever even commented on a video on KZfaq before, that's how strongly I feel about the quality of this thing

ive been looking way longer than I thought for a CLOSEUP video of crimping those small ass connectors. THANK YOU

Great video. I ruined several connectors until I watched this one. The 2mm stripping length is the key to good stable connections. Thanks for the effort and great job.

You just rescued me from huge amounts of frustration! Your opening comment is correct, there are a ton of videos on how to do this process, but none are VISUALLY clear. I also like the way you remove the wing from the crimp. Great tutorial! Thanks!!!

Thank you for the clear instructions and detailed video on crimping JST connectors. I appreciate the way that you labeled the parts and tool, and showed the complete process, including the removal of an improperly inserted wire.

This is BY FAR the best video I've seen for doing the JST XH connectors the right way! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This is the kind of video one never appreciates until you're looking to do the thing in it, thank you!

Very clear and precise - exactly what is needed to create a quality crimp connection and much better than other videos out there. Thank you!

Excellent video Chapster! Thank you for explaining in a clear way and with sharp image as well! Never saw the 2mm stripping information in any other videos. Maybe add a dupont connector video in the future as well! Cheers

Sir this is the information I wanted the 2 mm in my mind ended up as 4 after you said 2 I looked using my calipers so that strip length is very short and at the same time correct! My crimper dies are 4.65 mm so I use a T pin "straight" pin will do to place the terminal into the die but then I push it into the die from the long tab side to make sure that I do not get any of the connector part into the crimper. I now can do this job as it was intended without wasting termination parts and time. With what you showed here with some paying attention anybody should be able to do these like a pro. I used to work in a wire center of a major corporation. So I know just how critical the job is. My job was to pull the harnesses other people terminated them. I am doing this at home now for my personal project. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I knew I wasn't doing it right and that is how I got here! I know I am 3 years late to comment but the info is still as correct today as it was then.

This is greatly appreciated video. There were any number of small things which are really helpful and the close up is really beneficial. Thank you for your effort.

Thank you for making this video, this was excellent and exactly the close up detail i was looking for. I really appreciate you taking the time to put this out there for folks like me. Hope you have a great day sir.

Great tutorial! I appreciate the camera zoom and focusing on the details that a lot of other viseos missed. This video helped me repair my laser a couple of years ago and I had to come back to it today to help get my 3D printer fixed. Thank you!

Perfect: informative, detailed and no BS/filler. Thank you!

The SN-01BM crimping tool worked well. Wish I had come across this video earlier.

You have my gratitude, as I am someone who's having constant issues with back pain, and the only thing that relieves these is a massager which is battery powered (it won't run off of an AC adapter, just off of battery) - and the battery died a couple of months after the warranty expired. It turned into an interesting project (and a race against time, as my back pain comes and goes and I kinda felt it coming on again), so I bought a replacement battery but it came without connectors, just cables. Removing the old battery, establishing the type of connector, finding the right crimping tool, the housings and all of that took almost a week for Amazon to deliver, I booted up the PC, started Your video, went through the steps (and a few of those sockets as I hadn't made the cable get "caught", due to me initially using the wrong size jaws) - and now, I'm looking at the massager charging, cautiously optimistic as the back pain is creeping up on me. A small sense of pride and joy is overwhelming me as I see the charging status lamp blink at a stable rate. Once again, thank You so much for such a good instruction.

This is just about perfect. This video corrected several mistakes I was making. Unfortunately, I now see that I have the wrong tool (crimper die is too wide) but now that I know how it's supposed to work, I can get the job done anyhow. Thanks so much!

I've been looking for a clear quality video describing in full how to do this and this is BY FAR! The best video tutorial I've found. If i could rate you on trustpilot I would. Thanks so much!

Thank you for this clear concise video!!! Perfectly shows how these wires end up in the housing which no one else seems to show. If you don't know what to search for, you can't get anywhere. This was exactly what I needed.

Excellent, excellent video. Great focus and detail, and great demo on how to remove the pins.

Thanks a lot for your video. I was doing it wrong for a long time.

Excellent video! I just bought my first crimper and JST connection set, and your video gave me all the information I needed to start. Thank you!

Thanks! Never worked with this kind of connector before, you've helped make it look much more straightforward.

Watched a few of these crimping videos and yours was the best. Some videos forget to mention the tab or "pin" as you called it, to leave it outside the crimping jaws pushing up against the side of them. This little details is what was sets this video above the rest and allowed me to execute my first perfect crimp in one try. The 2mm of stripped area was also good to know. Thanks again.

Thank you for the best video on this topic I've seen. Informative and to the point!

thank you so much, you explained what others skipped or didnt fully show about crimping these connectors

Wow this is monumentally helpful! Thank you for taking the time to go into visual detail!

Thank you for really understanding that zoom and focus is everything in this kind of video! Strip the wire to 2mm and then place open end up in the crimping tool. Perfect!

Thanks for the well thought out presentation

Best JST connector video I have found. Good job!!

Thanks for this. It demystifies something I have been avoiding for ages.

I've been struggling with crimping these pins but after this video I crimped one perfectly. Thank you. I bought a IWISS SN-01BM and it works great after watching your video

This is an excellent video. Thank you for making it. High-quality... subscribed!

FANTASTIC! Thank you, that's a great presentation of how to crimp!

Well done. Very clear and precise and correct!! I was having very mixed result using instructions of another video. Thank you

Thank you for this video! It’s been a while since I used my jst crimper and completely forgot how to use it! This video was perfect!

My first crimp was perfect. Thank you very, very much for the detailed how-to!

Great video this was super helpful. After many failed attempts to crimp these connections watching your video helped me get it done right!

Thanks for the excellent tutorial.

Literally the best video on this on youtube! Thanks thanks thanks!!!!!

Perfect, could not have been any better. Superb visual quality, one could actually see what you are doing.

Thanks, this probably just saved me from a lot of pain.

Great explanation and camera work. thank you!

Absolute perfection of a tutorial

Thank you for this video. After watching half a dozen to try to figure out what I was doing wrong, your video help me realize I was crimping the hook that locks into the connector. It was driving me crazy trying to figure it out

It's the better vídeo that I've seen about jst connectors

Very good video! I was having trouble with all these Amazon crimpers that come with JST/Dupont kits that were only for DuPont pins and were running my JSTZ pins. Now I know what to look for!

Allah razı olsun sizdən qardaşım. Çox gözəl video idi. Sizə təşəkkür edirəm.

Great video those things are soooo tiny, well done, THANKS

This is the best video about this, thank you!

I did my first JST-PH 4 wire connector (STEMMA) after watching this. Took a couple times but I got it.

Thank you so much, it's the best video I've ever seen.

Much appreciated. Had the right level of zoominess :)

Excellent explanation. Thanks!

Awesome job, best video on this! Watched a few...

Thanks so much for sharing this Informative video!

Thank you for this tutorial. Now if only my eyesight was like it used to be!

Thanks for this video. It helps my job make it easier.

Great video, really helpful. Thanks a lot!

Nice clear and concise video. The best inexpensive JST-XH crimpers I've found are the Iwiss IWS-3220M. I purchased mine on Amazon for $22.59 US. They actually have a comprehensive instruction manual with large lettering attached to the package. A joy to use and make excellent crimps.

most excellent tutorial!

Just what I was looking for! Thanks!

yeah i bought estmoon crimper kit and they say 4mm in their documentation as well. so seems to be a lot of places saying 4mm. thank you for the very detailed video as I couldnt see it very well using their documentation

Quality video that explains it well. Thanks

Thanks, an actual informative video ..

This is a really good video, thanks man. 👍

Thank you. I`m from Brazil and it was extremely hard to find a video following the correct procedures for this connector. It appears that most of the people out there use generic Dupont crimpers or simply ignore the external pins in the connector. Once again, thanks for it.

Great info. Thanks for sticking with metric :)

Excellent, thanks for the quality tutorial!!

I was wondering if you would mention the most important part, the width of the crimping tool's jaws, or if you're going to start crimping like everybody else. And you did. Congrats.

I wish I would have watched this earlier. Nice vid.

Muchas gracias ... gran video un saludo desde España

Thanks so much for sharing this video.👍🙂

Thanks, much better video than the others.

just fantastic!!! thank u so much

Man, you really rock! Thanks for the video!

Well done. Thanks!

fabulous video Chapster. I have seen other videos and noticed that they didn't use the ratchet crimper that came with their set, but purchased another tool, a lot thinner and required a two stage operation. 1/ separating the wire and 2/ sheathing crimping! I think they had the right tool all along (as your video showed) but didn't know how to use it. I find it ironic that I could not easily find the thinner crimper but that the internet is awash with the proper tool. Grateful for your top notch video showing the 'easy' way to do it too.

Just needed to use this for an 787 connector thank ya!

Thanks well explained.

Excellent!

absolute legend

Well done, easy

Nicely done presentation. Personally, I favor the Iwiss SN-2549 crimper - it's the "illegitimate love child" of a SN-01BM (specifically for JST-XH connectors) like you show here, and the Iwiss SN-28B (which is aimed specifically at Dupont connectors, and if you're a little bit careful, can be used for doing Molex connectors as well) in one tool. Since I use all three types fairly regularly, having just one tool that can do all three is a BIG plus to me. Aside from the different jaws, the rest of the tool is identical, and it's possible to order different jaws that can be swapped into/out of the rest of the crimping tool as needed, though I haven't needed that capability so far.

Nucely explained. Thank you.

now this is great how do you wire the other end connection i can only find videos on the male end

Great ! Thanks !

Special crimping machines can be used for mass production

I know this late but, uh, 6:53 "Anyway you just take that knife... AND STAB IT IN YOUR FINGER!" I yelped and dropped my phone.

thank you)

Very well explained! Just wondering if you can use both of the bracket's cutouts for the JST-XH connectors or is one for another type?

EXCELLANT!!

super

4:09 FYI, the retaining spring “pin” is actually called the “barb” or “lance”.

Nice 👍🖖 I'm confused by how many jst connectors types exist.

You make it look so easy! :) Which crimping tool are you using?
