Electric Bob had a good suggestion for crimping the very fine wires
used on the Mac servo trim system. He suggested using the D Sub connector
series. He also sells the crimping tool for a very reasonable price. I
took his advice and am very pleased with the results. The crimping tool
was very easy to use, He suggested Faston connections for the bigger
wires, another great connection system, especially if you use the
automotive type fuse block and switches. For those unfamiliar with
connectors, the D Sub series is ultra high volume - computer grade. Pins
are gold contact - the best metal for connections if you can afford it.
Good news is the DB connectors are affordable due to the high volumes - a
win win situation. It is good to strain relieve the wires as well by
bundling together and tying them down so they don't vibrate. I concur that
solder joints are something to avoid because of pour fatigue resistance.
Electric Bob's business is called B&C specialty products. The crimper is
an RCT-3 and they also sell connector systems. Another source for
connectors is Mouser Electronics. They too have an online store. I have
had good success with both of these outfits over the years.
