Sounds like the crimp on coax connectors will work well. Possibly Mr Weir was speaking about the twist on variety.



Thank you for the tool suggestions! Extremely helpful.



Wondering if you have a favorite reasonably priced d sub crimper?

Hi Chris,

 

There are two distinctly different crimpers, both work fine.

 

One is the “import” version of the tool with fixed positioners (either standard density or high density) which retails for around $40 and works just fine for several 10’s of thousands of pins before it wears out.

The second is the Mil Spec AFM-8 with replaceable positioners and retails for hundreds of dollars, but can be calibrated and virtually last for hundreds of thousands of crimps and more if maintained.

 

Cheers,

Stein

Bob,

 Will the tool you linked above also do machined high density D Sub pins?

    This is problematic . . . if the pin

    positioner indexes off the END of the pin,

    then the quad-crimp will be in about the

    right place.

   However, the fussier tools (read $high$) will index

   of the largest leading shoulder. In that case, a

   positioner set up for D20 might not even 'catch'

   an HD22 . . . and the pin falls through.



   Then there is the matter of crush depth for the

   wire grip. The Eclipse tools I used to sell did put

   an adequate crush on an HD22 pin . . . I could not

   pull it off with ~5 pounds of force.  The pins you

   see above were applied with a tip-indexing positioner

   in a Buchanan tool. Wire grip position is good . . .

   but the HD22 pin is loose on the strands.



   The short answer is try it. Look at were the crush

   hits the wire barrel . . . it should be centered on

   the paint stripes. Then hang a gallon milk

   jug about 2/3 full of water on the wire and lift

   ot with a pair of pliers on the pin. If the wire doesn't

   move, you're good to go.
