Crimping tool?


Any recommendations for an inexpensive crimping tool for fastening this contact terminal on to 22 awg wire?   Thx!

If you’re looking for inexpensive you may have a hard time with this. The crimper shown above will mangle those terms. I have a drawer full of these types for Amphenol, Molex and other aerospace pins but that doesn’t help. Have you looked online for electronics surplus sales? Sometimes they have this type of stuff “used”.

Try this link and see if you think it’s worth the chance. If you’re careful you might be able to pull it off! They’re in Los Angeles but I think they can ship- good luck!

If you know how to solder (any audio enthusiast should really learn, if they don't already know how):

1) strip the wire to be attached to the connector

2) with a Needle Nose Pliers; delicately crimp the wire to the connector

3) for extra added conductivity, add a small amount of solder to the connection
