I found a video on U-tube showing how to crimp female molex pin. Does anyone know if there is a male pin video. They are different. Thanks.
Just a quick FYI, but we try to avoid the pivoting jaw type molex crimpers for open barrel type pins as it is often times difficult to get a repeatedly reliable and accurate crimp. For any of those open barrel type pins, we use a cheaper version of the "certified crimpers" which move the jaws in parallel instead of in an arc, thereby crimping both ears at the same rate. The "certified" tools for these pins can run many hundreds of dollars, but we've been using one for years that costs $31 (and is even made in the US)! You can make those other crimpers work, but like I said it's sometimes difficult to get a repeatable result.
Just my biased 2 cents as usual.
Cheers,
Stein

The Stein crimper is cheap and works great. Watch the videos on YouTube.

Agree. I tried using someone's double crimper (crimps the wire and tefzel coating at the same time) but it didn't go well. Sometimes you have to trim off a bit of the tabs that go around the wire coating to avoid breaking them off due to being too long.
Micro Molex solution - slice them off, use gold D Sub pins and sockets and a bit of heat shrink.... Move on
