Guest Zeppelin Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I have never done this, so don't laugh:For crimping a ribbon cable to these connectors, do I necessarily have to buy an IDC crimp tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2520 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hello Zeppelin I use them all the time and they do make a crimpping tool for them. But I just squeeze em togeather with plyers and a some small wood blocks, it works. I guess if i did a lot of em I would buy a crimpping tool. have fun gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2520 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hello Zeppelin Yes. The crimp tools is like a press, all it dose is press the two hafes togeather. I can do that with plyers or a small vise. Like I said if I were to do a lot of them I might invest in a crimp tool, it just makes it faster. gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hi Zeppelin, gogo,Yes I use my bench vice too! I have made many IDE and SCSI cables and others too, no problemo! Put some pieces of plywood or similar in between as support and DON’T put too much pressure on them just to make them snap in place! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
