Greetings -
I would like advice from several of you hobbyists -
How do you make cables with individual crimp-on contacts?
Here's why I'm asking I would like to crimp on some AMP contacts onto some wire to make a what I would call a standard 2 row 0.1" center connector -
The header and contacts are inexpensive - but the hand tool for crimping is several hundred dollars.
I'm hoping there is an inexpensive way to make cables.
For example - I have a bought circuit board with a 2-row 0.1" centers male header on it and I need to plug up to a few of those pins and I have some AMP (tyco) connectors and contacts. I would like to use 22+ awg for 2 of the pins.
Obvious for some applications I could use smash on ribbon style but this limits on wire size and wire routing.
How do you deal with connectors and the expense of the hand tool (crimper).
Advice?
Thanks
Sparky
