You should update your description to include something like "also e30 BMW 3 series pin and socket connectors for housing numbers c404 and c405" because they are known to fail and I spent more time than I would have liked every step of the way. This video helped me figure out what I needed to do before I wasted the small bit of wire I'm working with. It sure beats the handycam KZbin how tos from when I last was fixing cars 20 years ago. This video was extremely helpful. Edit: I can't punctuation.

A helpful video. I'd like to add a couple comments that may be useful to others. In the video, you stress the importance of placing the tool properly during the initial wire crimp so as not to bend the adjacent section of the terminal. To do that, the tool has to fit between the two tabs. The distance available on the terminal is .150". The body on my IWiss crimping tool is .160", so it just isn't possible. I spent a lot of time trying, and your video helped me pinpoint the problem. The insulation on my 18AWG wire seemed larger diameter than the terminal was designed for, and I was getting a poor crimp on the insulation anyway, so I ended up snipping off the section of the terminal with the insulation crimp and just relying on the wire crimp for strength. Now I can position the tool so that it only crimps the intended area, and the terminals pop right into the plastic housing. (Alternately, one could machine down the tool body to something smaller than .150".) The other thing I'd like to add is that there is a proper ( and improper) orientation for the terminals when sliding them in. Nobody seems to have mentioned that, but it makes a difference. It's easy to see once you look closely. Let me also add that this is all taking place on Molex Minifit Jr. connectors. I don't know if it's an issue on larger Molex connectors.

@markcummings1503 жыл бұрын
@@ginglean8287 these connectors are not exclusively for cars. I've used them in automotive applications and arcade machine wiring harnesses. I have a suitable crimp tool, but nothing to remove the pins once they are inserted. If you put them in the wrong hole or want to re-configure the connectors, you need a removal tool of the correct size, and that's what I am after. If you try to remove the pins without a tool, it gets damaged.

@VestigialHead6 жыл бұрын
+ Prenda Easiest way is to use the tube you find inside a ballpoint pen that has the ink in it. Use the open end of the tube and push it down over the pin side of the connector and it will squeeze in the hooks that hold it. You can then pull the wire out. Much easier than using the de-pinning tool.

Hi, nice video and demonstration! I don't suppose you'd happen to know the Molex part numbers for those two-position polarized shells (both male and female), would you? Been trying to track down some of those. I believe the ones I need are for 0.093" diameter pins.
@danlake7970 Жыл бұрын
The Molex parts like this with 0.093" pins are in the 1545 series. The one in this video looks smaller, probably the 1625 series with 0.062" pins. Your comment is several years old, but maybe someone else will be looking for these part numbers. :)
