Working with AMP connectors

<< < (2/3) > >>

Thanks, Andrew.  I didn't realize there were solder-type contacts for the round AMP connectors.  The terminals are usually the inexpensive part, it's the crimper that's generally pretty insane to buy.  I'll try that route for those.

I also looked into the price for crimpers for Molex and they weren't near as bad - though still a bit costly for occasional hobby use.  I was able to find some multi-purpose ones that looked decent so that might be the way I go there.

These are the ones I used on my servo driven 4th axis:

Oh, so the pins don't actually come out of the shell?  I have some SUB-D connectors like that.  Not bad to work with, but I was hoping to re-use the shells I have.  It isn't critical I do so, just trying to save a few bucks.

awemawson:
They may do perhaps with one of those tubular extractors - mine came fully populated - they are well made Chinese copies off ebay sold as 'circular military connectors'. Initially the seller cocked up the male / femaleness of the free cable plug / chassis socket, so I ended up with a few of the opposite 'orientation'

Here is an example:

Andrew - if the vendor's spec is right, and the part was 'on limit', is there a risk they might get a bit warm?

  Working Voltage AC 500V
  Current 25A
  Contact Resistance <1Ω
  Insulation Resistance >500Ω
