|
|
Greetings,
I have a handful of flag style fully insulated .250" quick connectors that look sort of like this:
http://rocky.digikey.com/WebLib/Amp/Web%20Data/520129.pdf
Since they are fully insulated, they won't fit in my ratchet crimper tool. Even if I force it into the crimper, it looks like it will pretty much wipe out much of the insulation. The 90=B0 angle is just what I need if I can figure out how to crimp it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dennis Johnson

Yup, buy the tool that was designed to install them.
I've run across a variety of variants in solderless
terminals, most of which take a mating die set in a
crimp tool for installation. As soon as one strays from
the path of PIDG, the future can become uncertain and
more expensive.

Hi Dennis,
If you have a pair of the crimpers shown in the attached (poorly focused)
photos, they can be modified to crimp the flag type terminals that you have.
I used a Dremel tool to create a centred groove in the tip as shown in the
photo. I then used a small diameter chain saw file to finish out the groove
to a good diameter (radius) for crimping flags.
I got the crimper tool from Cleaveland Tools for $12.00 a few years ago.
I hope the photos give enough info. If not email me for more info.
