Proper Crimper

[JT Croteau]

What is the proper crimper to use for the female pins (E620022) used
in Elecraft kits?  Mouser part number would be wonderful.

Thanks

Hi

I have a Paladin PAL 1645 tool that works on the small pins used in the
speaker/counter probe connectors and also works on the larger pins used on
the RF and 12V AUX connectors. I have had the tool for about 20 years.
Digikey has them but they are now around $150

I have a selection of crimp tools for just about any connector I run across
that I have acquired over the last 30 years. Red blue yellow barrel
terminals, D-sub, Molex, Amp, Anderson PP, crimp RF connectors. I do not
like to solder a crimp pin if I can use the proper tool to crimp the pin.
The tools are expensive but last a lifetime. There are also some tools with
interchangeable die sets. The ratchet handle is about $100 and the die sets
are about $60 each. You may run across a tool at a swap meet at a good
price.
