DB25 Crimp Style Connectors

(1/2) > >>

starnix17:
I've been working with some DB25 connectors on my project and there a pain. My solder isn't strong enough and it's hard working in such small places. So.... I was in my Radio Shack and I saw these... http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102865&cp=&kw=d-sub+crimp&parentPage=search
Would I be able to get away with those?

markrvp:
You still have to solder the wires into the pins.

starnix17:
Then I attatch the pins to the connector?

markrvp:
No, you actually have to solder the wires down into the pin receptacles.  The "female crimp" refers to the plug's gender and not an ability to crimp wires into it.

Since RS's website seems to be down...

Heres a link from Jameco's catalog.

These are d-sub connectors, with crimp pins.  You crimp the wire into the pin, then insert the pin into the d-sub shell.

Easy to mangle the pins while crimping, and probably needs a special tool.  I use some mil-spec crimp tool that work has lying around.
