900pcs 2.54mm JST-XH 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 Pin housing and Male Female Pin Head Connector Kit Crimping Tool Crimper Plier Set

Crimper works well, contacts and connectors are good quality. Good value for the money

Great seller, came as expected.

Cheap!! It works fine to those who already know how to use it. However, it will be easier if the seller at least include an instruction for the crimping tool. Which direction the pin has to go in.

The listing shows the male connector terminals on strips that can be cut and used to handle the terminals and manually place them in the crimper jaws. The actual item provides the metal terminals as loose pieces in a plastic bag. These are much more difficult to handle and place in the crimper jaws. Usually, I cut the strip and crimp the terminal, then remove the 'tab' which is the cut portion of the strip as the last step. It's much easier to hold on to the portion of the cut strip to manipulate the little metal terminal.I have no idea why they would remove the terminals from the metal strip.

The wire size rating is supposed to be for 20-28 awg (or .08-.5 metric), but even 28 awg is almost too large of a wire gauge for the terminal connectors when crimped. So what happens is when the terminal is crimped and inserted into the housing, the connector will not fit into female housing because where the wire fits into the terminal, is too big and jams into the pins, not allowing a complete connection to female header pins. So the only way to get it to fit, is to take it all back apart, and flatten the area that crimps around the copper using a small needle nose pliers, so that the female header pins fit into the terminal connections. What a bunch of crap. I can't imagine using any wire thicker than 28 awg, it will jam
