Bob,Is there a comic book that explains how to make a d-sub crimp.

How to use the tool, etc.

I have looked over your site, no joy.

Thanks,

   Never considered adding one. The use of the

   tool is pretty easy to dope out by inspection.

   If you have the right tool, there are no variables

   of process or technique. This is about as artless

   an activity as you can find in the field of

   fabrication skills for building an airplane.



   If you study the pins . . .

   You can mate a couple of them as if they were

   inside housings. In all cases, the smallest

   diameter on a pin is gripped by springy

   contacts within the socket. The open ends

   of a mated pair always look the same, may have

   an identifying set if color bands and

   usually have an inspection hole.



   Strip a piece of wire and insert the stripped

   end into the wire grip end of a pin or socket.

   Note whether the wire bottoms out in the pin

   before the insulation hits. If the gap between

   pin an insulation is more than say 0.050" (tiny)

   then you've stripped off too much wire. If the

   insulation touches, you've not stripped off

   enough. Get that one piece of the "art" figured

   out first.



   I like to hold a stripped wire up, perch a pin

   on the end and lower the tool over it. When fully

   seated in the tool, squeeze.



   When you've finished, the job looks something

   like this:

   The punches in the tool should compress the

   barrel right about mid-ships. Some of the lower

   cost tools place the crimp too far back toward

   the wire-grip opening. It CAN be pretty close

   but never so close that you loose the bell-mouth

   opening. You should be able to see strands in

   the inspection hole . . . this assures you that

   the strands extend all the way through the wire

   grip and that internally, there's another

   bell-mouth opening from which the strands

   protrude.

        Bob . . .
