This is a great video!!! Thank you!🙏🏻

Thanks for the video. Just got one of these and it came without instructions. After destroying a couple connectors, I found this video. You're a lifesaver!

The wings of a Dupont connector are supposed to fold around the insulation and not to pierce the insulation. The SN-025 or TZ-4228B would be the right crimping tool. The SN-28B that you are using is intended for spade connectors

Best video on this topic! Even with the blurry parts.

thank you for this video! and i agree You're the only person I've seen go into detail about getting the proper orientation of the crimp conector

What I've been doing on the past couple projects that required crimping dupont connectors: 1) Strip the wire end 2) Line the wire up precisely in the crimp 3) I crimp the wings over the conductor with a PA-09 engineer crimper relatively lightly 4) I finish the crimp by crimping both the wings over the conductor and the wings over the insulation with an SN-28B The reason I do this is because I found that if I put a crimp inside an SN-28B, I cannot see exactly how the end of my wire is lined up inside the crimp. The PA-09 is much thinner, and I can see where the insulation ends and where the conductor starts between the 2 sets of wings in the crimp right before I start my crimp. Once I crimp the wings over the conductor portion in the PA-09, the crimp will not move on me. Then I crimp it down fully with the SN-28B, which creates a good quality crimp on both sets of wings. For me, the most frustrating and challenging part is to get female crimps into the plastic shell housing. I think I may need to strip the wire more cleanly sometimes to avoid any bulges where the insulation ends. I think I should probably also practice sometimes squeezing the wings over the insulation down a bit more with pliers if it's hard to slide female crimps into the connector housing.

wrong crimper tool choice and wrong dupont crimping.

Thank you. First and only video I needed to learn how to use my new crimp tool properly.

this is a great video god bless you

Since my last comment, I've crimped 30+ connectors and they have all been perfect. So just wanted to say thanks again for this.

Oh my god. Thank you. I was seconds away from throwing out my crimper and just fucking soldering everything. I followed your instruction and got a perfect crimp

thank you so much. You saved me hours of trial and errors :-)

When buying pins - What is meant by "B-WIND - Right Payoff" and/or "D-WIND - Left Payoff" ?

Excellent explanation. So many videos just blindly (to the viewer) place part in the tool with no idea which way up and which way in and so on. Your attention to detail helps your audience not having to keep looking through 100 videos to finally getting to yours. Thanks!

Thank you for the Video... I successfully managed to kill about 6 connectors before I stopped and stumbled on your video. After watching Success. I had the wrong orientation of the Dupont connector. Everything you could do wrong... I had tried. Your video put me on the path to redemption. Awesome Job and Thank you.

Excellent! Clear and concise! Great job! Thanks

thank you, ive had these an entire year and watched what must have been every single other video on the subject and despite youres being here four years I never found it until now. Im sure you know by now but the other die jaws are for spades and other connectors according to the size of the crimp etc. Also I noticed the foil filament that connects the uncrimped connectors in the package is useful to fit the connector in the slot properly by giving a backing wall to back off and line up the connector into the ridge line of the die jaw. Again thank you!

I wonder if we can remove the jaws and swap them over so the tool doesn't have to be held upside-down?

You are excellent and very well explained. Thank you

KZfaq is great...thanks to you Terry. Thanks!

Awesome

+ terrysb20124 best How to, out of ~20 vids I've watched but try manual focus. Auto focus is only any good for outdoors . Thanks

Thanks man, you saved me from throwing away my crimping tool :) Great explanation and 100% success rate!

Relally helpful. Tried a few and gave up. Glad you made this. The shake was no worry, you had enough there to make the point clearly. Especially how to work the tool.

Thanks - I burned through 20+ getting it wrong using other instructions I found. This one worked just about perfectly on the first try.

Good video but what is this tool called, what is the part number, what are the jaws part number, what company makes this tool, how can I buy the right tool? I own 3 of them, none work, they claimed this is the tool for servo leads but what are they called, what is the part number? I bought someone else’s mistake, my mistake! I am the biggest looser!!!

I went through 6 connectors. After coming across this video I ruined 1 more and then got 4 in a row. Kudos, solid explanation

my crimper now works perfectly. thanks

thank you. Very informative.

great. Thank you!!!

Thank you! That helped

Do you have any tips for then placing my crimped connector into the black plastic plug / socket? I’m struggling with that now. They don’t want to seat correctly in the plug. Thanks.

What size and type of wire do you use? Wire gauge, stranded or solid, and type of insulation (e.g., PVC, silicone, etc.)?

Thank you Terry! I have watched alot of KZfaq videos and yours is by far the best at showing how to do this job accurately. It will save me much trial and error. Thank you for what you do.

Good information. 156 ummms is quite annoying 🥴

Yes one of the best videos on the problems of crimping. After wasting hours and dozens of crimps I am noe getting it correct. 1 He shows the correct way to insert the crimp. Its counter intuitive i.e. upside down. 2 He shows the correct way to inset the crimp with the "ledges" in the tool clearly shown. I have just bought a crimp tool like the one used but the jaws are different. There are 4 slots not 3 The jaws are only 4.7mm wide. This means that when the "wing" for the insulations is perfectly positioned in the wider section the "wing" for the copper is slightly too far out and is not caught by the crimper.

great !!!!

long video but worth it! I'm finally crimping consistently!

Thanks for your video Terry. As the manufacturer, your satisfaction is our final pursuit. Apart from this SN-28B crimper(amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B00OMM4YUY?ref=myi_title_dp), we have a new SN-025 crimper makes wrapped around insulation crimps for Dupont terminals. www.amazon.com/dp/B08D67L3YS?ref=myi_title_dp

Thanks for this video! This was exactly what I needed.

Best video I've seen explaining how to use the tool and crimp wires. Thanks!

Thank you! Even though it was shaky, it was the best, most precise video on this that I could find.

This video was very helpful, thanks so much.

Really good man, super useful. Thanks.

Thank you so much!! I was crushing every single connector. Precisely! As you point out, the placement on the crimper makes all the difference. Cheers!

THANK YOU! This is the first video I've found that actually helped me successfully crimp my own cable! Seeing close-up exactly how to position the connector in the tool was exactly what I needed to see.

Thanks a ton for this video! I got a setup to do this on my own but when I got it I had zero clue how to use it and there was zero instructions on how to do it. Likewise I wasted 3 before seeking help. One thing I did do different is I saw on my crimpers at least I could undo a screw and was able to reverse the crimp flanges. So I moved the bottom to the top and likewise for the other one. That way I can hold the crimper the logical more comfortable way and it was perfect. Made all my connections and on to the next step, again thanks so much for taking the time to make this slick tutorial! On a side note for those like me that are using the tiny 1550 connectors its not a bad idea after crimping them to hit the wire part with a dab of solder to ensure it does not come out. I am finding these crimpers are just to big for these very small connectors and not doing a very solid job wrapping the tongue around the insulator.

Just wanted to say thank you for this video! You're the only person I've seen go into detail about getting the proper orientation and explain the two different sizes required for the wing part that crimps around the wire insulation and the barrel part that crimps around the bare wire(s). FYI, I have the Qibaok Qi-28BMA crimper that has 2 channels - the smaller one for Dupont connectors and the slightly larger one for JST/XH/C3-R connectors. With my tool, you have to insert the connector as you described - with the V of the wings opposite of the V of the crimper channel, ratchet down once, which holds the connector in place, then insert the wire and continue ratcheting until the crimp is made. You're also exactly right that the orientation of the connector is counterintuitive. Again, thanks!

Thank you so much for making this video! As others have said, your video saved me many wasted hours of stress. I finally understand how to crimp duponts correctly and consistently!!!!

I like this video because you got in nice and close. Despite the shaking I was able to absorb what had to be done, and you saved me a lot of time! I found that my crimped connectors were not fitting into the case, because I was over-crimping. The tool has the adjustment wheel for the tightness of the crimp and now this adjustment is right I am crimping quickly and consistently. I am grateful you took the time to explain.
