Cheers,
I am now ‘self-educating’ in the realm of teeny-weeny DB9 pins and sockets. I have the subject RCT3 crimper but am flummoxed by its construction.
It has a ‘tunnel’ through which the aspiring pin/socket slides until properly situated to be crimped onto its inserted wire. Then, one squeezes the handles until fully compressed, four shiny probes close in on the target until the clamp is acquired and the crimp is accomplished. A very efficient device.
However, the rear of the tunnel has a threaded ferrule into which a spring and an insert fit, and an external cup threads, closing the tunnel off.
Thing is, unless I dismount this latter cup and its bits to open up the tunnel , I cannot insert the pin/socket for crimping! What am I missing? Your advice, direction to instructions or otherwise is keenly requested.
happy landings,
Ferg

Strip the wire appropriate proper depth of
insertion into the pin. Hold stripped end
of wire up, drop pin onto wire.
Lower crimp tool over the pin until pin is
seated in tool and close the handles. Withdraw
wire and pin from tool.
Some folks like to drop pin into the tool. The
wire-grip barrel of the pin should be flush with
the face of the tool. Insert exposed strands and
crimp. Wire with attached pin can then be withdrawn.
It all happens from one side of the tool no matter
what brand or style of tool is being used.
