Crimp tool for 0.250 Spade terminals
DeanA:
Can anyone recommend a decent crimp tool for the 0.250, 6.3mm non insulated spade terminals like this preferably available locally in Australia.
I found this one at E14 https://au.element14.com/duratool/ht-230c-ht-236c/crimp-tool-inter-lockingnon/dp/3126341 which looks correct from the photo's and the price is good, but not 100% sure if that is suitable for the faston 250 type spade terminals.
The manufacturer specific one I found at digikey, 755414-1, is $5000. Or I found "47417 CRIMP TOOL, FASTON 250 SERIES TERMINALS" at E14 but that's $800, both way over my budget.

Some crimp tools are hideously expensive, eh.
Rocky Electronics in Melbourne sells this... https://www.rockby.com.au/catresultsSql_12.cfm?Stock_no=21037
I use one for 6.3mm spade terminals with plastic sleeves, and it works a treat. It might work for your terminal without the sleeve.
I have also found good quality crimping tools on eBay (and there is a lot of rubbish there too).
Failing that, there are companies in Melbourne who provide a crimping service. They have automated crimping machines.

Thanks, I've got one of those crimpers for the insulated terminals which works great. It's the uninsulated spade terminals I need a crimper for, it should simultaneously crimp to the wire and strain relief to the wire insulation. I'll give that Duratool HT-230C one from Element 14 a go, I just can't find enough information to decide if it's the correct one. These uninsulated spade terminals are very common so I thought there would be a few decent quality crimpers available for them.
Regards,
Dean.

You could try Rhino Tools, they generally have a good assortment of crimpers and reasonable prices as well.

Not a big fan of Amazon but... perhaps this is available in Oz either through Amazon or others:
