Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone knows how to use this chimping tool i have below. I tried it to mod my PSUs cables but this tool is not crimping properly. I tried many different ways and wasted almost dozen of my crimps. can anyone please help what i'm doing wrong.
That looks very similar to the tool my friend has he got his from mdpcx. I know that there is a little picture there that was helpful when he first tried crimping. Perhaps take a look at thishttp://en.mdpc-x.com/mdpc-crimping/mdpc-crimping-tool.htm
I think if you cant use a crimping tool, you shouldnt be messing with psus. But seriously, above description is pretty cool, not easy to explain how to use a crimp tool without physically showing somebody.+ rep Javerh Reading post, it says Chimping tool, i thought it was a tool for fertilising monkeys for a moment........ Ouch!!!!!.
Hi mate. thanks for the image. i have the same image from mdpc-x before, i did 100% same but no it wont crimp it properly. Maybe the tool i have is rubbish. anyone knows any tool which is easy to use and would do it in 1 go without messing about. spend all night on this =( I'll try take few pictures to show you guys soon.
i found this photo from mdpc-x. i tried everything he's showing. i think my tool is no good, it look the same as mdpc-x tool tho.
Those crimps look ok. It looks like the tool you have isn't designed to do the insulation support crimp to the same standard as the eBay one, or even if it has the capability to do them. Wraparound insulation support is perfectly acceptable provided it's not loose. I worked with these terminations in the Quality Assurance department for 12 years in case you are wondering how I can decide what's good and what's bad. We didn't use many hand tools but quite often the hand tools we did use would have an additional area for the insulation crimp or we'd use a separate tool just to do them. Here's a tool where the crimp space on the right is much larger and suitable for insulation.
hi tealc. i kinda knew its my tools and not the pins. Do you know where i can buy this tool in uk? or do you know where to buy the best 1.? is the mdpc-x tool the best, i would buy from them but i want to get it quick and was wondering if anyone selling it in UK.
I've never really looked where one would source these tools from. The mdpc-x one seems to have a crimp for the wire which looks about right and then a much larger one, which could be used as an insulation support crimp, or just for much larger wire sizes. It could also be that the crimper has two blades for each wire size but is not visible in their image. The trouble with these is that sometimes the size of the insulation crimp needs to be larger than the corresponding wire crimp for a perfect crimp. For this reason our automated tooling had replaceable wire and insulation crimps, something which is difficult to achieve with hand crimpers. But as I said the crimps you are making are fine. You will not notice once assembled any appreciable difference in the way the terminals sit inside the connector, nor will the insulation slide out of the crimp if the wraparound is tight enough. If the wraparound is loose it's possible that the PVC could retract and look bad once inserted, if it's too tight it could shear the copper conductor. Occasionally our customers would ask us to put a wraparound insulation crimp on their terminals, usually because they had a restrictive location where they wished the terminal assembled, or they didnt want the insulation pierced.
i think my tool is bad. i want the tool your showing in the photo. can you tell me where you got yours from? please
