I recently obtained a sample myself and can confirm that it’s a good option for those happy to spend a bit more. Several readers have written to me about this tool over the years – it’s generally well spoken of. Not as well made but for the significantly lower price, it could be forgiven.įor those with a little more to spend Hozan P-707 It is a little pricey but definitely wins for crimping smaller contacts i.e. Unlike the PA-09/21 its jaw is cleanly machined, allowing easy removal of contacts after crimping. Recommended if you work with larger contacts. Another good 4 die tool from IWISS, however all significantly larger than the SN-2549. It tends to apply too much force to the insulation part, but one cannot have it all on a budget. It crimps the conductor and insulation in a single action, with the ratchet double hinge mechanism providing good force on the conductor part. It has a cleanly machined jaw, so contacts won’t get stuck in it. It’s good for most medium sized power connector families on this page i.e. My preferred budget tools: IWISS SN-2549 and Engineer PAD-11 On this page I’ll cover some of the most common connectors in use today, and detail crimping/tooling considerations.Įvery connector system ever conceived has its own official crimp tool, in most cases the cost of these is over and above what any hobbyist could and would want to pay for a crimp tool.

With so many different types of connectors available, it’s often difficult to know what to buy, especially when you’re buying for general use and/or personal stock. Big sellers like Digi-key/Farnell/Mouser literally have tens of thousands of product lines in their connectors category! The range of connectors available and in-use today is trully astonishing. 187 FASTON – TE ConnectivityĪs someone who builds a lot of electrical things, one of the perhaps most unexciting yet fundamental subject areas is connectors.

There are numerous types based on crimp style, such as a wire to wire, wire to board, and so on. It is essential to keep in mind that each connector family has different current, voltage, and wire size ratings.

You will need the full specification if you’re trying to find a particular replacement part for your project. What are the various JST connector types?

Use copper-stranded wires which has been annealed and tin-plated when crimping connections between JST connectors.To help ensure that your connection works perfectly, JST also advises that you have roughly 15 degrees of freedom of movement on each axis from the connector directly out along the cables.Constant straining on the crimped wires can lead to loose connections. To prevent overstretching your connector or crimp while attaching components to the board, have a little extra cable on hand.To avoid damaging your connector or using it incorrectly when working with JST connectors, experts advise following these tips: This company’s guiding principle is to give you the most reliable, cutting-edge, and cost-effective items possible. The JST Group has a worldwide presence of manufacturing plants, R&D hubs, and service locations. Since then, JST has maintained its position as one of the top ten connection manufacturing companies worldwide, with annual sales of about $100.0 billion due to its recognition for innovation and excellence.
