Title: Crimping DB-9 Pins, Sockets & Tool
Post by: kolias on November 27, 2015, 04:16:26 PM

Never had a good success soldering the DB-9 connectors for the G540 so this time I will try crimping. Some vendors sell these cables with the DB-9 attached but the shipping cost + Duties / taxes to Canada will make them too expensive. In addition I prefer to have my cables to the required length instead of having coils of extra cables hanging all over my cnc

Anyone knows where I can get all the parts including a half decent crimping tool?
