Hi! Tony /all

Your varied list of crimpers hasn't included for the type recommended by my

friend Ivor Phillips which really applies to crimping very small wires and

MINIATURE barrel and pins  needed for "D" sub connectors which are used to

connect directly into, say, the rear of a GPS unit or Auto Pilot (in my

case). I recommend, in the quest of eliminating the practice of soldering

which causes wire embrittlement, that  you take a look at www.lasaero.com

and find in their catalogue

E300-015 Crimper, D-sub closed barrel .( go to the Electrical section and

select TOOLS)

Having had a number of solder wire connections fail I suggest that new

builds involved with panel wiring should seriously attempt to eliminate all

soldering.

I don't know it's origin but I do know of a similar crimper (EX Concord

Maintenance Engineer) which actually has a variable torque setting embodied

in it. In the catalogue there is also listed the small tool for releasing

the barrel sockets and pins from the rear of the "D" Sub plugs and sockets.

Happy Days !!!!!!!!!!!!!"Friggin" wiring !!!!!

Regards

Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Soldering isn't bad if you do it properly. Even new Boeing airplanes

rely on thousands of solder connections.

Key is that you properly support the wire. Solder is brittle and will

break if a wire vibrates constantly. So, bundle up the wires and do not

let them "hang" on the solder joints.

Shoe Gloo is fantastic, but I hear you Frans. That stuff just locks EVERYTHING together forever. I will however move to crimps for other than my MAC trim servo that I am doing now, with the very fine wires

FWIW you can get COLD solder which should solve this issue
