Pin header crimps that match SN-28B ?
<< < (3/4) > >>
ElektroQuark:
FWIW here it is how I use my cheap SN-28B with cheap Chinese terminals: CLICK!

It's a very short blog entry with clear images. Short text in Spanish but easily translatable.
Hope this helps.

Those aren’t DuPont terminals, they’re KF2510 (Molex KK 254 clone), which are MUCH more flexible about the crimp tool used. (Though a -28B is still nowhere near ideal for them, the jaws are too thick.)

You don’t show any image of the top of the crimped terminal.

Nice crisp images!

The crimps I have are "not great", shown here for comparison.

The one in the foreground is too fuzzy to tell.  The triangle style leaves for insulation support are most difficult to get right, in my experience.  For them, I start the proper alignment and bend over manually before putting in the crimper; otherwise, they tend to go askew.

I just pulled apart a couple of connector on my bench.  Probably made about 5 years ago.  All crimps were done with the green handled crimper I showed earlier.

1) I categorize the "Berg" type, which is what you show and is sometimes called DuPont type, as being "indent" or "barb" retention.  The Berg type is in my mind a female "pin" with a cantilevered contact.   The company is now owned by Amphenol, I think.  The indent retention is a cantilever on the housing that pops into the crimped side.  The barb type has a barb on the non-crimped side of contact that pops into a hole on the housing.  I prefer the indent type.  They are easier to remove without any damage to the contact.

2) The first photo shows a barb type retention, non-Berg contact at top.  The barb was pressed into the contact to get it released.  The bottom contact is a Berg type with indent retention.  It also has the pointed leaves as discussed earlier.  Notice, I clipped the very tips of the leaves off to facilitate crimping and insertion into the housing.

3) The second photo is a close up of the Berg-type connector.
