I tested this crimper on 5 connectors: Molex Sherlock, molex SL, JST-PH, JST-SH, and Dupont. I used the flat tip to slightly tighten the v-groove of the connector around the wire. I then used the W1.3mm die on the wire part of the connector. If the shielding part of the connector were in-line then I used the flat part of the crimper to push one side in so the two sides don't meet exactly in the middle. Finally I finished crimping around the shielding with the 1.4mm round die. I would say that the Molex were more difficult than the dedicated crimpers I purchased for hundreds of dollars, but I think the PA-24 crimp might be stronger. Dupont and JST-PH were better crimped, less mangled, and easier to use than other crimpers I've tried. JST-SH was smaller than the die, so I ended up crushing the entire connector instead of crimping the correct part. I wasn't expecting that one to work. I'll take some time to think about the fate of my Molex crimpers, but I'm definitely going to use the PA-24 on the JST-PH and Dupont from now on. 5-stars.

Hi, I read you review, I just have one question, is it a good option for Jst-xh terminals?

@@rics_zip I think it works ok for them. I use w1.6 on the conductor, then verify it with a pull test. I then bend the insulator wings with the tip until they're parallel. Next I start to crimp it in the circular 2.8 until the insulator wings come together. If I continued crimping they'd just hit each other and destroy the connector. I pick one side and bend it as far as I can so it ends up against the insulator and the two wings overlap. I can then finish crimping the insulator in the circular 2.8. Like almost any connector, the manufacturer crimper should be faster and better, but this can make a good connection with some patience.
