Electronic Crimp Connections, Love them or hate them they are very useful
DON'T MAKE ANOTHER CRIMP CONNECTOR UNTIL YOU'VE WATCHED THIS VIDEO.
Crimp connectors are really useful for electronics projects. At first my experience was not so good and I used to hate having to create crimp connections, but then I realised I was doing it all wrong. I was using the wrong connectors and the tools I were using were not up to the job.
In this video I show why I had such a bad experience and why crimp connectors are actually really easy to connect and how they can be extremely reliable.
This video was created as a follow-up to my earlier video on A Raspberry Pi Pico reaction game
In this video I show how you can make the following connections:
Spade connectors used for switches and arcade buttons using a SN-48B crimp tool.
Pin connectors (DuPont style / JST connectors) using a SN-2 crimp tool
Terminal ferrule connectors using a HSC8 6-4A crimp tool
