cheap crimping tool?
« on: March 20, 2014, 05:12:28 pm »
Hi,
I have a bunch of small molex connectors from digikey:
http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/0500588000/WM1775CT-ND/242897
and I'm looking for a crimping tool to press these on wires.

Digikey suggests this tool with costs  $516.81 ...
http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/0638190400/WM5152-ND/2327987

What else can I buy cheaper ( say $20? :) ) to do the job done? I have a couple of crimp tools from aliexpress for bigger connectors that claim to have a die for 30AWG wires but these molex connectors I have don't seem to fit in these tools.

Any suggestions?

thanks in advance.

I got the PA-01 from the same seller, also seems to be good tool, just needing more practice.
