Mike i use the MAC crimpers at work. because i can use them from 24awg- 12 awg. Mpi/ Maxx sells a smaller version that works with the smaller wires if that is all you are going to use them for. Snap on and Matco also sell them but i like the mac better. You may also check sears or radio shack. Just remember you want a w-crimper. if you try and use the sta kon crimper you will need to throw the pins in the trash. Now that i am thinking clearly. Try Mcmaster carr. Look for the AMP pin connectors. See if they have a w-crimper for the amp pins at 20-24awg Because the amp pins use a w-crimp. I have probably crimped and soldered 10,000 of these pins at work in the almost ten years i have worked there.<BR><BR><B><I>mike mueller <mups1953@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> Where do you buy the proper crimpers?

The crimpers will probably cost you 25 bucks. they are a w crimp. you do not want to use regular crimpers. After you crimp them you will want to solder also. use the smallest diameter solder you can find. you just need a tiny tiny amount. you won't be able to use heat shrink due to the heat shrink not fitting in the connector.<BR><BR><B><I>paul <paul.horan@sbcglobal.net></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2802" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ed,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I
have not pulled the servos apart to check the gears.

I try to avoid it only because the area near where the solder stops wicking into the wire tends to be a point of stress concentration for the wire strands, but as long as you extend the heat shrink about 1/4" past the point where the wire gets 'bendy' again, it supports it and prevents the work hardening of the wire from becoming a problem. I might be a bit nervous about those servos though - how do the gears look? I've had incidents where just a tiny slive! r of a gear tooth was
chipped away and lead to further problems.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ed</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ---! -- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=paul.horan@sbcglobal.net href="mailto:paul.horan@sbcglobal.net">paul</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA Mailing List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Monday, March 13, 2006 10:29 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Help: Servo pins pulled out of connector body</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ed,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial
