Question on crimps
« on: March 29, 2013, 07:30:52 pm »
I'm looking for crimps, what size do you think I would need for my led buttons? Also do you think I'll be okay with an 18 gauge wire?  I can get crimps in 2.8, 4.8, or 6.3mm or will I need a combination of them with the led side and the NO one?

.187" QDs. 18ga wire will be fine, I usually go with 22ga.

For the button type you show:

4.8mm (.187") crimps for the microswitch.

6.3mm (.250") crimps for the LED.
