alenK Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I just soldered my first HiRose HR10 connector. It is the crimp style. How I do I use the crimp? Do I just crimp it over the wire and then use the set screw to mash it some more? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 yes, but take care to find the right position, or else the grub screw wont hit the crimp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourtelot Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I "soft assemble" the connector and stick the point of a silver Sharpie pin through the set screw hole to mark the position of the brass crimp. Make certain to take care to keep the finished crimp as round as possible so it fits into the shell. The brass is very malleable and mistakes can be corrected with the gentle use of gas pliers; regular old "get them at the 7-11" pliers. D.
