Wish I would have purchased this a while back. Now I'm going to always keep a pin connector kit nearby. Does anyone have a preference to the kit or crimpers they use?

Do you realize that you are doing this completely wrong and that you are you push the wire in too far. Only the back wings should crimp the isolation. The second op pair of wings should crimp the bare conductor and non of the wire should be pushed any further into the connector.

Hi Frans! I appreciate the subtlety of your message and enthusiasm for this video. You are correct. I pushed the wire in too far with the female connector and I didn't catch it...It still stuck together and made a connection somehow. Doing this takes away from the proper connection of the male connector to the female connector. There are always a number of distractions while recording and I thank you for the catch, sir! I hope you continue to follow the channel and check out all of our future videos!! 👍😃

Great video. I have watched lots of these and you are the first to clearly show the orientation in the crimper. Thank you!!!

hey there! I bought it about 5yrs ago from Jameco. I believe this is the one www.jameco.com/z/63811-1000-Molex-Application-Tooling-Hand-Crimp-Tool-For-Mini-Fit-Jr-_304928.html It says $70.95 each! I don't remember what I paid for it though. It is built very well, I will say that. I use it regularly and have had no problems. Jameco Part no.: 304928 Manufacturer: Molex, part number: 63811-1000

Please do not crimp this way! you are trusting your electrical connection to hold with no mechanical connection between the conductors! The triangle wings wrap the insulation, the rectangle wings smash around the conductor. The wire conductor protruding so far into the female socket could prevent the pin from inserting.

HI, what size of wire did you use here ?

Hi there! I am using 24AWG wire in this video. It works best with 22-24, a gauge you would typically use in a breadboard.

Hi there! It may take some practice at first. There are 2 sets of wings, at least that's what they look like to me. The first set of wings are tall and they wrap around the wire insulation, the second set of wings are more flat, and they wrap around the wire. You don't have to stick the wire in very far at all. This picture shows what it should look like. www.aliexpress.com/i/3256802331800236.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt Not necessarily promoting Aliexrpress here but it is the best images I could find. I hope that helps!

@@BMonsterLaboratory so I already put the housing thing on the wire but I can’t tell if it’s functional, if u have advice on how u tested them to see if they work I would really appreciate it!

@@friendsfans123 If the housing is already on it you can tug the wire to make sure it's attached properly, don't pull too hard though. You can also do a continuity check if you have a multimeter or if you are using a circuit, see if the circuit is functional when you insert the wire. Before all that, You should inspect the wire after you lock it into place with your crimper, if it's done correctly it should be fine. I hope that helps~

@BMonsterLaboratory hello, I think your misread what he's meaning, he means how do you know if the positive and negative are correct, as ; left, black negative wire / right, red positive wire 'into the housing, guy probably doesn't want to fry himself or his equipment 😊
