FWIW you can get COLD solder which should solve this issue

Hi! Tony /all
Your varied list of crimpers hasn't included for the type recommended by my
friend Ivor Phillips which really applies to crimping very small wires and
MINIATURE barrel and pins needed for "D" sub connectors which are used to
connect directly into, say, the rear of a GPS unit or Auto Pilot (in my
case). I recommend, in the quest of eliminating the practice of soldering
which causes wire embrittlement, that you take a look at www.lasaero.com
and find in their catalogue
E300-015 Crimper, D-sub closed barrel .( go to the Electrical section and
select TOOLS)
Having had a number of solder wire connections fail I suggest that new
builds involved with panel wiring should seriously attempt to eliminate all
soldering.
I don't know it's origin but I do know of a similar crimper (EX Concord
Maintenance Engineer) which actually has a variable torque setting embodied
in it. In the catalogue there is also listed the small tool for releasing
the barrel sockets and pins from the rear of the "D" Sub plugs and sockets.
Happy Days !!!!!!!!!!!!!"Friggin" wiring !!!!!

Bob Harrison G-PTAG
