| Subject: | crimping with a dmc af8 crimping tool |
I have the tool and a m22520/1-02 head.
Just looking for the proper method of inserting the pin to be crimped as well as
what a good test for the quality of the crimp should be.
I do not have a g-125 gage to calibrate with. Also, do not have more than a couple
pins to practice with.
Thank you,
Keith McKinley

You should have a positioner to hold and properly position (gee...)
the pin within the crimping pins. Which contact positioner you need
is based on what socket/pin contacts you are using. To free-hand
position a contact within the crimp head, well, for a reliable crimp
I would think it not a good practice.

If you're just worried about the depth of the crimp, you can purchase
some gage pins from McMaster Carr for a few bucks each. Don't
offhand recall the go/no-go diameters, but I can check them tomorrow and post.
If you visit the Daniels/DMC tools site, there is extensive reference
material to chose the correct tooling...

Thanks Ron,
I looked at the small pins that do the crimping and tried a test. I now see that
the pin is actually inserted almost all the way into the positioner for the
correct crimp. It also seems to "snap" into place.
I think my crimp was just fine as a healthy pull on the connection did not break
it.
I probably should invest in the go no go tool and I do have the number for that.
Saw one on ebay for 25 bucks
Thanks again
Keith
