Crimping Deustch DTS connectors

Jul 10, 2020 4 Replies

I have DT06-6S plug - along with correct pins & wedge lock. I don't have a specific crimp tool for Deutsch connectors (only fitting



2 plugs) .. could a standard ratchet tool for insulated crimp lugs/eyelets be used .... or anybody a better suggestion ...... not sensible to buy to connect 4 pins.

here is a link to the plug:

This is ratchet tool I have:

I'd solder it for a one off. Though carefully to avoid solder outside the hole.

In the end I just used the 'indent' crimp on a 'basic' draper 4in1 crimp tool. Concerned solder may prevent the end of plug sealing properly if it 'migrated'

I'd have riisked it with a small narrow bit in a thermostatic solder station iron - but I do see the risk of disaster in a fraction of a second wiith a mm too much solder
