We are interested to use DF11-12DEP-2C (crimp plug/pin housing) and DF11-12DS-2C (crimp socket housing).
Here is the catalog.

I am lost when I tried to find the part numbers of crimp pins and crimp sockets. Would you please go through the link above and let me know suitable gold plated crimp pins part number and crimp sockets part number for the connector housing I mentioned above.

In addition, please let me know which crimp tool to use, it's part number. Crimp tool for pins and sockets are different ?

I found crimp sockets (DF11-22SCA) for AWG 22 gold plated UL1061. The crimp tool is HT801/DF11-22S(A).

Don't they have crimp pins for AWG 22 ?

I think they only have crimp pins for AWG 24, 26 and 28 and not crimp pins for AWG 22, right ? Have a look at the catalog I shared in the first post.

Certainly the catalogs for crimp pins and sockets have been very confusing for at least 25 years. That was my experience. So I am aware that there is a problem.. I am also aware of the very high price of the required crimping tools.
My solution for a small production quantity was to change to a different brand of crimp connectors that used a single tool for all of that series of connectors, one tool for both sides of pins, M and F. the tool had three cavities for the three classes of pins and sockets. That was quite a few years ago, but still, the savings were enough to be woth the effort.
