Hi Tooki,
This afternoon I spent some hours modifying the 734203 crimper so I could crimp chinese dupont connectors.
After removing two vertical metal plates which unfortunately had to cut off, it now seems to partly work fine for the dupont connectors.
What does not work is the yellow auto feed slider which would have to bring the next component exactly in line with the crimpdie.
However the index notch is worn down and also the spacing of the connectors and the index hole positions on the carrier are different.
Still I have a semi automatic solution now, using a plier to pull on the ejected carrier strip to the right, till the next connector is in line with the die.
Then put the wire in and press and it also automatically cuts the connector from the carrier.
I am super happy with it since this makes the process much easier. And these are el cheapo chinese dupont connectors.
I do not have a digital microscope (only analogue) but the crimp really looks good, so this is about the closes I could get a picture of the crimp (yes I know I have to strip the wires shorter they are a bit too long) and the round flaps are there holding the isolation correctly and also the wirecrimp is pretty solid.
Too bad this crimper only has one die for 0.12-0.14mm and the wire shown is 0.25mm2 still works good enough for my hobby electronics
As you know the Duponts are not that great connectors, I use the JST XH more, better contacts, polarity guaranteed and cheap. Yes the more I think about it, €320 is worth it.
Thanks Tooki.
