I had almost given up on cramping, or at least my tools.
This video really goes the extra mile (or millimeter in that case) to show every detail of the process, the lack of useless music and the calm and clear voice adds to the value. Also near perfect focus for extra clarity. Very impressed and very grateful.
I appreciate your support and encouragement. As I walk around the Museum race, day four, answering spectators' questions and weary, you have lifted my spirits...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Thank you so much! You are the reason I learned how to do this properly. As someone who is just getting into electronics, you couldn't have done a better job with this video. Thanks for doing what you do!!

My pleasure, I appreciate your encouragement!
The Bob Ross of crimping. Excellent video.
I know this is an old video, but this is the first time in my life I've been able to figure it out and make some great crimps... best explanation I've ever see of it, thank you so much!
My pleasure, I appreciate your support and kind words of encouragement...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
This has to be the most helpful instruction video on crimping I've seen - really clear and close up shots, and lots of very detailed explanation. Brilliant job and really helpful :)
I appreciate your feedback and kind words of encouragement. It's my pleasure, thank you for your support...🍻
Thank you sir. I came here after watching 3 or 4 other videos and only learned to crimp from you. Regards
My pleasure.. It really means a lot to hear your feedback and encouragement...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Best tutorial for crimping, detailed explanation with crisp, zoomed in, clear footage of tiny component. Appreciate the effort that has gone into making this.
I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Thank you...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Watched a bunch of these and yours is by far the most comprehensive and clear. Thank you!
My pleasure, I'm glad it helped. I appreciate your feedback...🍻
Thank you so much for this video! I have just spent over 2 hours, watching different videos on this and got nowhere, other than burning through a load of connectors. Almost gave up, then found your video and bang, all working and every connector worked first try!
You have made my night, I appreciate your support and feedback! I too watched a few dead-end videos and felt a void that needed filled. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
I second this comment!
Thank you! 😃 I learned more in 15 minutes than I did in 5 hours of trying all of the wrong things on my own. 😩
My pleasure. One of the most frustrating tools out there, lol...🍻
This has the best camera shots I've seen in a crimping video. For all the fears you voiced of getting good shots... you did amazing camera work. Thanks!
I appreciate your kind words of encouragement, thank you...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
The white connectors are JST not dupont connectors
i agree, hats off to this guy!
😊😊
Bardzo dobre video
I've watched dozens of videos about Crimping JST , and I can say for sure that this is the best explanation of them all
Thank you
So glad to hear this. I appreciate your support and encouragement...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
I am new to this technical world.
This video really explains everything you need to pay attention to when crimping.
Thank you.
My pleasure.. I appreciate your feedback...🍻
Don’t worry about camera clearness. You did excellent explaining all the points on crimping connectors. I am a rank amateur as I need to learn this but don’t have the tools yet. I wish I could have given you 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@@propsoff right now I’m researching 2mm jst kits and ratchet crumpers.
@@bruceyoung1343
I had a few of these crimping tools and this kit was perfect for balance-plugs. I built a charging station and needed many independent connectors (male and female). Been a good kit for me.. I do not have a 2mm specific kit though.
@@propsoff I have a Coolmoon controller with 2mm pin spacing. Do I have to get a specific crumpet for 2mm?

AWWWW MAN YOU ARE A LEGEND. Firstly, I have a rudimentary physics/electronics background, finding myself retired at 51 with time on my hands. Got into amateur radio and mega trying to wire up a DMR hotspot using a circuit board connected to a raspberry pi4. Like the comment below from simon C, I was pretty fed up and felt like launching this crimping tool and its pins, into space. I have just connected 4 in a row after 2 days of near stroke activity!!! Thank you.
You've made my morning.. I feel your pain. I smashed many connectors before getting the perfect crimp. Enjoy your retirement...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
@@propsoff Please never underestimate the life line, video's of your quality represent. People like you and your content just make TH-cam. So, from Bournemouth UK....MAGIC!
Thanks for the video. Its about 2mm of insulation that needs to be taken off the tip of the insulated wire and the inner conductor core wires should not be twisted as it makes it difficult for the JST XH inner pin broad middle wings to curve around the individual strands of the inner core and hold on to it.
Interesting point. makes sense.
BTW arun., what do you think about all gubments drawing a line around you(Antarctic Treaty) and saying you are not allowed to leave? If you don't know what I mean, read my about tab.
Hah, I've been using this tool for months and never realized you could crimp with the pin still on the metal stripping, I've always snapped them off, positioned them, and then crimped! *redfaced...)
However now doing it this way, I have one peice of advice to add. once the strip is in the tool and you're just about ready to crimp, instead of eyeballing how far the wire slides in, position it in place in the NEXT pin over, just outside the tool where it's clearly visible. pinch right at the entry point with your fingernails, and now you have the perfect depth marked-and-ready at your fingertips!
Great advice.. I appreciate your feedback...🍻
This is the only video I was able to find that thoroughly explained how do use this darn tool. Thank you so much!
You bet, happy to help. Frustrating to smash a pin when you have 8 wires all nicely lined up, lol...
my dude needs to be voice acter for audiobooks, watch it again, and imagine him reading a western novel ( great video for info as well, thanks)
I appreciate your encouragement. I've never done a voice over, Lol. I wouldn't mind giving it a go someday...🍻
I just received my crimp tool and try many way's but without success until I watch your video and now it works very well. Thanks very much for your excellent explanation, now I can use my crimp tool.
Your feedback inspires me to keep making videos. It's an unfriendly tool until you get the hang of it... I appreciate your support...🍻
This is, hands down, the best video on the subject. I’ve spent the past month watching videos and trying but only today, after yours, did I get my first successful crimp.
I appreciate your feedback and encouragement. It's great to hear this video helped you...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
That was awesome. You did an awesome job of filming that I really appreciate it. I needed that help.
My pleasure, I appreciate your encouragement...🍻
It worked! Thank you for showing it up close and explaining how the shape of the front and pin relate to how it locks in place. Hopefully I've finally got the hang of it and no magic smoke will ever escape again!
My pleasure, glad this helped! Enjoy the freedom of making perfect length cables...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
You sound like a Midwestern Willem DaFoe 😁
Thanks for making this, I've been having a hell of a time trying to crimp 1.25mm JST terminals. Need to figure out the correct slot in the anvil, and also get wire with thinner insulation.

Willem is a new one, lol.. I get Bob Ross a lot...🤣
Thank you. Finally a video that really shows how to crimp. Thankfully this is helpful
My pleasure.. This tool was very frustrating and nearly ended up being scrap metal...🤣
Thank you 🙌🙌 I've been searching online for someone to explain an show clearly how it's done and this is hands down the best. Great video/instructions 👍😀
I really appreciate your kind words of encouragement. I'm glad this was helpful...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Thank you, I watched several videos on how to use these crimpers and this is by far the best one. There's some pretty hurtin' unit videos out there on how not to use this crimper and you did it the right way. Thank you.
I appreciate your feedback and support. I get frustrated when I waste time searching videos. Even more so when they lead me nowhere..
I'm glad it helped...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
I was about to give up but then i found this video. Thank you so much!
I'm very happy your on track and making them work. The frustration is real, Lol.. I appreciate your support and feedback...🍻
This video should be placed at the top when someone search "how to crimp JST". Looked at it once, first time crimping and I cannot stop, all crimps are just perfect. Thank you very much for this video!!!, it surely took you a lot of time to record it properly.
I appreciate your feedback and encouraging words.. I tried hard to film it close..
Haha! I watched so many terrible videos and continued to destroy pins or poke holes in my fingers, till I got it just right... I thought, good thing to make a video of, hopefully making other lives easier..👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Thanks for this video, great close up shows me I have wrong teeth on my crimper
My pleasure, glad this helped identify your issue. Just curious, did the manufacturer send it with the wrong size?
@@propsoff wrong teeth type
This is the best ever video Ive come across so far about how to crimp the JST-XH connector. You've taken a lot of trouble to cover every little minute detail regarding the do's and don'ts of crimping. Helped me a lot. Thanks a bunch ! Really appreciate all the effort you have put in.
I appreciate your support and feedback. Your kind words of encouragement has made my morning, and made the hours of filming and editing so worth it. Have a great day...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
@@propsoff Glad to hear that. The least I can do is subscribe to your channel for a job well done. You too have a wonderful day !
Thanks I needed this video ordering tool now to repair my battery
This is a very convenient tool to have on hand...🍻
The width in the jaws is merely measurement, it is not referred to the pitch of the connector. So (XH) 2.54 is actually the space between pins of this type of connection. Also, pay attention when seller declares that its compatible both jst and dupont: they should have different width, like you could see on this tool (a wider jaw part)
Also, despite the Chinese clone vendors calling it “XH 2.54”, XH actually has a pitch of 2.50mm.
Thank God for you. I have had a terrible time finding a good video
I appreciate your feedback and support...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Top ! Best instruction ever massive thanks , subbed

Thanks bud you helped me a ton. Great video.
I appreciate your encouragement and feedback. Glad it helped...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Thanks for the clear explanation. It's one part of wiring I never got into. Wouldn't mind giving it a shot now.
I needed a pile of 3s,4s, and 5s extensions for projects I was doing and the videos I found were hard to understand. Or the camera angle was so bad I couldn't see how the pin fit. The instructions from manufacturers are a JOKE!.. Lol... I'm happy this video gives you a boost of confidence. I just couldn't see paying for so many extensions and not even having them be the correct length. Thank you for your kind feedback. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Liked and subscribed. As others have said, hands down best jst crimping video on this platform. The fantastic shots, and detailed explanations are much appreciated. You have a very calm and soothing voice to boot. Thank you for transferring your knowledge and skills, you are what makes TH-cam great.
Wow! I really appreciate your kind words of encouragement and feedback. Also, welcome to the PropsOff family!!
Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Mehn, you really took the time to zoom in and focus on to such a small part. Good job ... i learned a lot.
I appreciate your kind words of encouragement. It was so frustrating to have to redo it, especially when all the wires were pre-cut to the same length.
@@propsoff i see, but good job on this thorough tutorial video youve made. You made everything easier to understand. Kudos to you from the philippines.
Great in focus close up shots. I have struggled with this and now get fewer messed up crimps after realizing the importance of the little hook and the box. Also pushing the wire into the connector too far interferes with pushing the connector to the mating connector. My crimp tool came with a little instruction booklet that had some good diagrams showing proper usage. It takes some practice and steady hands. Thanks.
I appreciate your feedback. I'm glad it helped. A while back I was buying connectors pre-wired and was tiresome by the expense, I needed a better solution. The videos of this tool, well, frankly sucked...lol
My first mistake was cramping the entire metal. FYI, there is also a leveler between the handle if you need to release the jaw before it is fully closed.
🍻
Well done !! and many thanks....

I appreciate your feedback and encouragement. It really is frustrating till you get it. The instructions that come with the tool is complete garbage.
excellent job! close ups were very well done.. going to make my job a hella lot easier.. thumbs up!
I appreciate your feedback and support. I've made so many connectors now, this tool and kit has paid for itself many times over...🍻
I have thought about buying a crimping tool and kit but I ended up buying precrimped jst 1.0 and 1.25 kits. But I can see where this can be handy because you save money & use different gage wires of your choice. Thanks man.
Exactly.. I have made a stack of balance lead extensions and this tool plus kit has already paid for itself.. I will admit, it's tedious though.. Thanks for checking it out...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

Maybe I will try again. I bought the tool and spent hours practicing but I have never gotten a consistent connector crimp. So I gave up. I usually just cut pins off another cable and solder the wires together. It isn't the neatest job but works. I saw another Video where he just soldered the wire in place and bent the connector housing around the wire instead of crimping the connector with the tool.
Do try again, it takes a little finesse and having the pin lined up is the key. Let me know...🍻
Nice Vid. Thanx a zillion !

Such a nice and detailed video! Well done! 👍
I appreciate your feedback. A tip of my hat to ya kind sir...🍻
I always had trouble using this tool to crimp a XH 2.54mm connector, up to the point where I thought my tool was bad. You have explained it in such an excellent way, I now know how to properly use this tool! Thanks!
Its encouraging to hear this helped you use your tool better. I watched video after video myself and still could not get it right, frustrating. I continued to crush the little tab that retains the pin in the connector. I appreciate your feedback...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
3:30 That '2.54mm' on the connector does not stand for its width or the slot of the crimp tool. Rather, it stands for the spacing between pins (this is 0.1" for both JST-XH and also the 'dupont/header' type pins).
The slot that you use in the crimper, you should pick according to your wire gauge. The dupont types typically fit between 18 and 26 AWG. For the different kind of JST connectors you can find a nice table on the wikipedia page (XH is compatible with 30 to 22AWG).
Sadly it seems these jaws dont allow you to adjust according to wire guage, I would highly advice to get a set of jaws that do allow for this.
Thank you
👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Hello Everyone! Thank you for checking out my channel and subscribing! Here we take a close look at using a crimping tool to repair or extend a lipo balance lead.. Hope this helps someone.. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
goed gefilmd, volgens mij heeft de JST connector 2.5 mm pitch, maar deze tang lijkt OK.
I appreciate your encouragement...🍻
Yes, the connector is listed as 2.54mm.
Awesome man! Thanks so much for sharing this! Nice and clear and close up. I watched a few of your vids tonight. Great content.
Thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate it very much...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
This was a life saver!! Thank you and really loved the close ups!
I appreciate your encouragement and support. The closeups are so necessary because these pins get destroyed so easy. It's frustrating to have to redo it after the harness is all one length and looking sweet, can't have a short one and 7 long ones, lol.. OCD...🤣
@3:46 2.54mm pitch is talking about the distance between the pins. not the size of any given pin
Really glad I found this video have just ordered the exact same tool and connectors Thanks.
I'm glad it was helpful. I used to purchase finished balance leads and they were never long enough or too long. Nice to custom make them.. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Thanks bro i own 2 sets of crimpers and several pin kits and recieved no instructions with any'I just kind of made it sort of work till now...
Is frustrating to purchase items with little to no instructions. I'm glad it helped...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

im trying to do this with the wires on a 3DTouch for my 3d printer and the difficult part is now knowing what crimping jaws to use and even if i narrowed down my choice of jaws to the ones that look like the right size (0.5, 1.0, 1.5) I dont know which of the three openings i use on that jaw.. Another guy in a video used the 1.4 to crimp the raw wire.. but then used 1.9 to crimp the insulation part of the wire.. but he used a different type of crimper. I dont think the crimpign spaces of his had that shelf where it narrows in each space which im guessing is used to crimp both parts of the wire simultaneously as you demonstrated. Would be nice if electronics that use these connectors gave us the specs on the size of crimp. The 3DTouch I got came with only 6 of those metal connectors.. one I smashed up really good.. leaving me 5.. and i have 5 wires to crimp.. so i cant screw any one of those up.. and I did.. the next one crimped the raw wire section really well but really bent the crap out of the tabs that crimp the insulation. So long story short.. This isnt easy nor is it fun.. and lesson learned. make sure to have plenty of those metal things in case you mash up some.
Yes, "a lesson learned" is right. I destroyed a few before seating it correctly. It's a servo connection to a JST, I think. Don't understand why they couldn't just put both connections on the wire..🤔
Ohh yea, you WILL mess some of them up, your first try. I watched this and a couple other videos, to get a good perspective, amongst multiple techniques and, wasted about 10 connectors, in the process, of, doing this shit, myself. I needed to convert some connectors, for my RC hobby and, needless to say, it was tedious lol.
It's a good video, but there's no need, to cut the pins off the flashing. All you need to do, is bend them, back and fourth, till they break off, like any metal.
Thx so much for this detailed video. This is much needed. My problem is I have broke a small wire off the plug. It plugs into a control hub of a motorcycle. I managed to depin it from the plug but no way of determining wire size 22, 24 26 awg or how to determine the pin size to replace it. Is there a way to identify these tiny wire and pin sizes to purchase?
My pleasure, glad it helped. For my motorcycle, I purchased the service manual from the manufacturer. In the back, the schematics list this information. Honestly, you should be able to find it online or call a service shop.. Good luck...🍻
thx
🍻
Nice presentation, all is clear. However, the SN-28B is NOT the proper tool for JST-XH connectors - the jaws are different. I have the SN-28B here in my hand and the jaws are far from those in your PR-3254.
Yep! It’s for 2.8mm spade terminals, way, way larger than XH contacts.
When making the extension, do you use a crimping tool, and can you just use twist ties instead 🤔
Absolutely! Sunbeam has the best quality twisties...🍻🤣
Excellent

I want to buy crimper tool with die meant for 6mm butt connectors. All ads show light duty Ferrules in pics. What die number should I look for in a crimping tool?
2.54 mm is the pitch between two pins. It doesn't have much to do with the width of the pin itself.
The SN-28B is "pain in the a...". It's to heavy and to clumsy. I bought the Engineer PA-09 which is better to handle and every crimping is a success.
Good to hear something is working out for you...🍻
What the trick to doing the other side of the connector? The "male" side. Whenever I try to solder the wire to the back side of the pin it gets too hot for the plastic connector, and elongates the hole. Got a trick?
In those cases, I pull the pin out first. Solder it and shove it back in and use double layer shrink tubing (tubing on each line and one large over all of it to make strain relief).. I pre-tin very quickly (may hit it 3 times to get enough solder on the pin, and use flux). If you tin both, wire and pin, it makes them weld much faster with 275'C. Remember to flux between times, wipe clean too..
Keep me in the loop.. I have a video on soldering a wire to a flight controller.. This video show cases my technique and reminds not to go too hot ( as many TH-camrs suggest, unfortunately). Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
th-cam.com/video/Tox93SiwH8o/w-d-xo.html
great video, wouldn't it be better to just tin the wire to get better contact?
You can.. A thin layer perhaps. If you pre-tin the wire with too much solder, it deforms the pin when crimping. It's recommended to not pre-tin the wire before crimping so the wires will slide into position. Also, sometimes a pre-tinned wire will prematurely break at the connector. I've done it both ways and don't see a difference...🤔
