Hi,
I am using following,
Crimping Tool:
Pro's Kit 608-384
Crimp Shells:
1) Molex Pico-Lock Crimp Terminal (28AWG to 24AWG)
2) Molex MicroBlade (30AWG to 24AWG)
Wire Size:
1) 26 AWG
2) 28 AWG
I tried to crimp all the possible combinations but each time the insulation crimp got more flattened so that crimp terminal could not get into its housing. And When I try to make the insulation crimp round enough to get into the housing (Using plier from sideways), it loses its grip on the insulation.
Can anyone suggest me where am I going wrong or what are the alternatives or the tips I can try (I don't want to spend money on Molex Crimping tool which is very expensive).
Thanks.
