There are a number of different cimpers that will work fine -- not sure which crimpers/dies will be in your price range. :dunno These are two options that work well for me. The HT-225D is available here or here -- use the "24-30" slot for your ribbon cable. (it is 24 gauge, right?) If you have Harbor Freight, 236-series, or 336-series crimpers, the HT-236-2U crimp die set works fine -- use the "22" slot. Scott |

Segment display controller board. Next time I might go with some home made circuit board etching instead... :P |
