Professional Pin Crimper for Connectors - Seeking Photo-Identified Tool (Max 90chars)

Hello, I am looking for a professional pin crimper as in the photo

On graph paper, this photo would be more or less to show how big or small these joints are. If these are the smallest of the smallest, I bought a crimping machine or a SN-03BM CRIMPING D-SUB Terminal machine, I don't remember how much I gave but I bought it occasionally and the price was low. More or less, you need to know what AWG wires you have for these connectors, mine is from 30 to 24 AWG


As for professionalism, if you want to do it massively and even in bulk, you have to look for those whose price starts from almost a thousand, but if you want to earn something once a Russian year, such equipment is enough. Plus practice and a sophisticated way of earning tips, the smaller the more you have to make an effort, but you can get to the practice, it's always better to buy more connectors, or at least at the beginning.

Alternatively, you can also choose from Engineer press tools
-PA-09
-PA-20
-PA-21

It's very difficult to earn money with a razor, it's easier for me with tongs.

If you have the right tool and know how to use it, everything can be done.

gradek83 and that was it, it should be ok

Here is another video from a Chinese, I don't know why I didn't come up with the idea to cut off these pins with the handle to which they are attached and use it when earning, and then tear it off. Now it will make earning even easier.

I warn you against choosing a crimper by eye, especially if you write about professionalism in advance. You have to start with the type of connector, or at least its raster, and select a press tool for that.
It may not even be possible to use a crimping tool for another purpose, or it may result in poor tightening.
Take a look at this example:



There are quite popular connectors here, on the left ZH (1.5mm raster) on the right PH (2mm raster) where you can clearly see how different the dimensions of the plates are in the places of crimping. And for these two types of joints, different crimping tools are used, which clearly differ in the widths of these cuts.
Here, too, in the videos that my colleague gradek83 gave, you can see a clear, visible difference in the size of the holes between the SN-03BM and SN-01BM crimping tools shown.
The former is probably for small connector plates with a 1.5mm pitch, as shown here, ZH, and the latter may be for those PHs with a 2mm raster, and even in poor data at sellers, this type is mentioned. But these are only my assumptions and it is difficult for me to judge anything. Especially that these crimping tools here, for various reasons, I would not call professional and the quality of the crimping is unknown. Only the price is attractive for amateur use, because typical correct crimping tools, e.g. from Molex or JST, are a completely different price category.


So check the raster of the connectors that you showed here at the beginning, because I have not noticed that you would specify it anywhere.

Engineer PA-09
The difference is that this Engineer crimper has more sizes to choose from (4) and is flatter, it makes the work easier, because you can tighten one of 2 clamps and only 2 at the end, and it goes well with SN-03BM right away we have two as if grooves where two clamps are clamped at once.




Information on connectors in the attachment.

the crimping tools you provide are only available online and cannot be tested, you will have to buy them by feeling

I have a HY-202B crimper for larger pins, but I would not count it among professional ones.


Use a caliper to check the spacing on the 2nd clamp and you will know more or less what this pin is from the photo.

Colleagues wrote a lot of smart things that I will sign under.
If you want to professionally and a lot, buy a dedicated one. If there is no such, change the connector.
As every now and then the Engineer is good, slow but neatly made and gives a nice tightening after exercise.
Chinese cheap ones are suitable only for larger connectors and standard cables: thinner than the designer predicted, they will not clamp properly, and also thicker ones.

For example, Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 has 3 jaws in the crimper depending on the thickness of the wire. And it works well, the Chinese clamping counterfeits, and it's average, only the middle options.

I earn plugs for existing devices and the other connector will not come up

You know, there are counterfeit Molex connectors, for example, the manufacturer of the counterfeit does not offer a crimper, but Molex does - this is what I mean. There are many connectors on the market in 2.54 mm pitch.

This can help you choose a crimper.

Gentlemen, what am I supposed to finally buy?

And for which connector do you need a crimper? The photo I added above shows the sizes of the raster spacing (Spacing of the legs)
1mm
1.25mm
1.5mm
2.5mm

2.54mm 1mils goldpin

So this JST-XH should be.

I bought something like "OPT YYTB10 CRIMPER FOR MOLEX CONNECTORS" on Allegro.
It tightens nicely, I recommend it.

Hello, what do you currently recommend for crimping female gold pins, etc.

greetings

Original manufacturer's crimper? Everything else is a risk

I used HY202b for car connectors. They squeezed relatively, but snapped quickly.
It may be suitable for small connectors.
Of course, they had dedicated grooves.

For crimping non-insulated connectors, I recommend BEX BC3
https://www.tme.eu/pl/details/bex-bc3/zaciskarki-koncowek-kablowych/bex/bc3/

The quality of crimping is amazing, the die and the device itself are made like products from reputable manufacturers.

For those looking for crimping presses, I recommend the website Biall Of course, you can buy anywhere else. The site is only an illustrative place to choose the right model for our requirements.

For those who prefer something more professional, I recommend the JAPANESE company crimping machines ENGINEER



The aforementioned company crimping tools BEX by a colleague megao can also be classified as professional.



And here is a comparison of professional equipment with another.

I will add that:
- they are in TME
- I use them and they are well made
- they are "universal", so you have to do everything twice, but they tighten quite nicely.
- they do not cost PLN 1.2k as the originals.

Recently I had to choose a crimper myself and decided on the same model.
I have slightly different insights. The quality and accuracy of the jaws are very low, comparing with the photos of good jaws, you can see the gap. However, as for the folding itself - it is lost, but not everything. Pins JST-XH torn off the "strip" bends correctly (although the factory-bent pins are missing a lot), while the pins that I bought loose in a bag cannot be earned with it. Apparently they are harder and imperfections in the jaws make it bend in the wrong places.

Today I would buy Engineer, maybe you need to make 2 bends instead of 1 but I would not have to choose the right pins in the stores.

I've never had an Engineer crimper in my hands, but crimping "twice" doesn't sound good.
I have tested several * Chinese * crimping tools for precision connectors. They tighten "as is", acceptable only in amateur applications.
At the workshop, I also have Molex crimping tools, if there is a chance for a return on investment, it is worth buying. Older models may have the course of tens of thousands of operations, yet they still work perfectly and do not require adjustment of the settings.
