Title: IDC Crimping Tool
Post by: rv_bass on September 16, 2023, 05:29:32 AM

I have to repair the 14-pin ribbon cable connector for a Series bass.  Does anyone know the proper hand-held crimping tool for the male connector?  I have found online references for female connector crimping tools, but not for the male connectors (the one with the pins).  Thanks.

We buy these ribbon cables with the connector already in place - I don't even have a tool!

Found one :)


I figured it will be easier to replace the 14 pin connector than try to re-solder all of Ron’s original end points :)
