After fiddling with these connectors and destroying about 20 of them, I watched your video and got it on the second try. Well done!

@DIYMachines 2 года назад

Glad it helped. That's exactly why I made the video. Information was hard to find on using these and once I figured it out I thought I should share it. :)

@esotericbear9829 2 года назад

I did 4 wrong, gave up & went to bed. I'll try again after work.

@ericvogels8625 Год назад

At a guess because a lot of folk, like me, come across videos of specific things but don't need to see everything he does? This was a really great video, but I'm unlikely to watch much else he does

Daaaaaaaamn! I seriously wish I would have came here a few days ago. I was so confident I knew how these worked and was having a nightmare of a time. Turns out I was wrong about nearly every detail. Had I only come here first I would have saved myself from quite a few super annoying hours of frustration. At least I'll know for next time. Thanks for this video!

@logitech4873 2 года назад

Thanks for the useful video. Had bought a set with pliers and plugs, and had no idea how to use it :)

@tychosis 7 месяцев назад

A very well-done video. I'm not a trained technician but I work in integration and that means having to bodge solutions together every now and then, simple things like crimping properly aren't really as intuitive as you might think--there are so many things you can do incorrectly. I wish I'd seen this video before I had to butcher a few Dupont connectors before getting it right!

@miguelrios4602 2 года назад

Thanks so much, simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. Again, thanks, and ignore the haters. I appreciate this video.

@erikandreassen6531 3 года назад

You can also , on a 3 + way connector use a male on the outside of a female connector set and a female on the male connector set as a location pin. Suitable when joining 2 connector sets. (I use this for removable/replaceable modules or ease of servicing without having to take everything out and loosing orientation. Great for nema17 steppers).

@DIYMachines 3 года назад

That a great idea and piece of advice! Thanks for sharing. I'll certainly use that in the future.

Very nice video Lewis. This is the first one I found how to actually use my crimper tool. For a next time take some more time to show how you actually crimp it because that is why most people click on this video. You showing that was actually very very very quick.... and we want to have a very very good look. So take some time. However thank you so much. I am now ready for my first good crimp :)

Hi Lewis, tx for the video! Finally a simple and good explanation for diy dupont cables!. But my sn-01bm "pushes" to hard and bends the dupont connector. I think I can loose it up with the vise and 1-6 gear but how? I don't want to break my tool ...

@amaurythewarrior 2 года назад

very well made video. i was looking for connectors to link rgb led strips on acoustic panels and was a bit lost. i initally thought I would use the led strip solder-free connector - but these are awful, and can't really be attached to wire anyway...

@DIYMachines 2 года назад

Thank you, I find I create these style connectors more and more. With practice I'm becoming very quick and proficient at it and often choose it when prototyping now.

@DIYMachines 2 года назад

@LeicaCat 3 года назад

Nice video, but the crimp shown @2:52 is terrible. The insulation is not gripped properly and the striped portion of the wire is too long. This would interfere with the male connector seating fully. But, in reality, you should never crimp solid core wire. Always use stranded wire instead.

@patrickharyett694 2 года назад

Using stranded wire also makes for a more flexible wire harness

@Sil3nC4 2 года назад

Those things bothered me as well. If you make a tutorial, at least make shure to show how it's done properly. Also, recrimping with a smaller size crimptool is a nono as well.
