I’ve not ever been able to find an exhaustive list of all of the DuPont crimp tools and accompanying documentation. Some datasheets are available, but aren’t necessarily much help. There are many other HT-xxx tools in addition to what I’ve listed, all for sale on eBay in various quan...
There are a vast range of crimps out there in the market- industrial users of crimps have good access to information from the crimp and tooling manufacturers so I won’t go into depth on these applications. Instead, in this Instructable I hope to give some advice on using crimps that yo...
But, a pretty minor tug can separate the connectors. I have them ganged in twos---that is, a positive red and a negative black connected together by their dovetail (and then taped just to be sure). They connect to a mating pair on the other cord. But, it does not take much to pu...
To strip the cable, clamp the stripper on the cut end using the illustration on the tool as a guide. It takes several practice runs to get the height-changing setscrews adjusted to give the proper depth of cut, so don't be afraid to use up a foot or two of coax getting your tool ...
The first is to use the blue connector on the end of the add-a-circuit. You can strip the end of the power wire of your hardwire cable if it doesn’t come stripped already, insert it into the blue connector, and use a crimper (not pliers!) to crimp down on the blue connector and...

Once you have completed the crimp, the handle will reset to the open position. To ensure all pins are set, some individuals prefer to double crimp by repeating this step. 5 Repeat the steps starting with preparing the cable ends on the other end of the cable. The way you wire the ...
I imagine if you were an electrician and needed to string out a long piece of cable over some distance, you might need to do that stuff, but I’ve never had to mess with it.
If you have a coax cable without a connector, installing your own is a simple task. Strip the wire and expose its inner conductor. Then push a connector over it and crimp it in place. For tight spaces, use a right-angle connector to avoid bending the cable too much. Method 1 ...
Wire strippers are the best tool to use if you want to remove the insulation without risking the underlying wires. You can also use something like a sharp knife or sharp scissors, but be very careful to not damage the exposed wire underneath. 5 Crimp the exposed wire and plug it into the...
