Crimp Terminal ATX 15-16AWG FEMALE

If you buy CONNECTORS, you need these: 50x ATX crimp terminals FEMALE Mini-Fit-Jr for ATX, PCI-E and EPS, made for 18 AWG and 17 AWG (1.00mm²). The difference to the 15-16 AWG FEMALE ATX version can be seen in the second photo. The only difference is the length of the conductor "wings", which wrap around the conductor of the wire when crimped, otherwise both size versions are 100% compatible with all connectors and mating terminals. FEMALE crimp terminals are always used for CONNECTORS. These are the best female crimp terminals for ATX, PCI-E and EPS connectors manufactured in the USA by the MOLEX company. You can use these Mini-Fit-Jr crimp terminals on all common wire sizes, which you find e. g. in PC / computer systems on PSU / power-supplies. Crimping of these female ATX crimp terminals on 18AWG (0.8 mm²) and 17AWG (1.00 mm²) electrical wire will be perfect when the electrical wire has the common outer diameter (including insulation) between 1.7 mm to 2.4 mm. MDPC-X recommends electrical wire with PVC insulation for crimping female ATX crimp terminals. You can find electrical wire here at MDPC-X and at some of our MDPC-X Stores around the world or in shops for electrical supplies. Combine these female ATX crimp terminals with our legendary Crimping Tool for ATX Mini-Fit-Jr crimp terminals by MDPC-X plus the original Pin Remover / Extraction Tool for ATX crimp terminals by the MOLEX company and you will have the full joy of shortening or building your own cables and removing cables. A relatively small investment into absolute freedom in the world of creativity, cable sleeving and technology.

If you want to use SMALL or XTC sleeve, this is the perfect choice! Black hookup wire is perfect to slightly tone down light cable sleeving colors. It's typically used with black sleeving and carbon sleevings, which include black. Stranded 15 AWG hook-up wire Black, of course 100% tinned copper, no markings and coming as a beautiful large inner diameter ring to prevent spiral shaping as much as technically possible. At an outer diameter of only 2.50 mm, this is a class of its own. Maximized conductor size for lowest resistance, minimized outer diameter: This is the uncompromising MDPC-X 15 AWG hook-up wire Black, of course 100% made in Germany.   What's better than a high cross-sectional diameter? An even higher one! The bigger the cross-sectional diameter, the lower the electrical resistance. Heating issues at high load? Not anymore! 16 AWG is the maximum size used in todays computers ... until now. MDPC-X raises the bar to the next bigger conductor size of 15 AWG, because we can. The outer diameter of only 2.50 mm allows you to use 15 AWG now in the same way as you used 16 AWG before - without any troubles getting the MDPC-X sleeved wire into your connectors. This wire will not be exceeded anymore in electrical performance for PC power supplies. This is the maximum - ahead of the industry. Technical Data: Tinned copper conductor in PVC insulation according to VDE 0812 -30°C to 80°C PVC insulation, flame resistant according to VDE 0482-332-1-2. Once braided with MDPC-X cable sleeving it is resistant from -58°C to +155°C. Short term peaks of 215°C can then also be handled without structural degradation Constant operating voltage: 900V, Test voltage 2.500V Electrical resistance per kilometer: max 13.3 Ohm Attention: Hook-up wire is a relatively heavy item. It can quickly raise the weight based shipping cost to the next level.

If you want to use SMALL or XTC sleeve, this is the perfect choice! Stranded 15 AWG hook-up wire Transparent / Silver, of course 100% tinned copper, no markings and coming as a beautiful large inner diameter ring to prevent spiral shaping as much as technically possible. Transparent / Silver hookup wire is a class of its own at an outer diameter of only 2.50 mm, no matter if used on its own or sleeved. When sleeved, the transparent / silver wire supports the color intensity of the cable sleeving as much as Grey would do. Maximized conductor size for lowest resistance, minimized outer diameter: This is the uncompromising MDPC-X 15 AWG Transparent / Silver hook-up wire, of course 100% made in Germany.   What's better than a high cross-sectional diameter?

New since 23rd May 2023: This is the custom CTX-4 MDPC-X crimping tool for our 15th anniversary of MDPC-X. The CTX-4 replaces our CTX-3 crimper. This unique crimping-tool is specifically optimized to create the ideal crimp-terminal shapes for your custom sleeved cables. This MDPC-X crimping tool is specifically made for the following wire sizes: Biggest Opening: 16-15 AWG (European: ~1.2 mm² to 1.5 mm²) 2nd biggest opening: 20-18-17 AWG (European: ~0.5 mm², 0.75 mm², 1.0mm²) 3rd and 4th opening: 23-26 AWG (European: ~0.14 to 0.25 mm²) CTX-4 | Optimized for no compromise Based on our experiences with crimping tool optimizations since 2007 (CT-1, CT-2 and CTX-3), the CTX-4 is the latest and likely final MDPC-X crimper for (open barrell) crimp terminals like the ones used for ATX, PCIe, Dupont, Fan, Fat-4, Mini-Fit, Micro-Fit, 12VHPWR etc. The jaws of the CTX-4 feature a short 4th position, which is ideal for shorter than normal crimp terminals: 12VHPWR signal pins and similar very small and short crimp terminals. The 2 openings for 16-15 AWG (~1.2 to 1.5 mm²) and 20-18-17 AWG (~0.5, 0.75 to 1.0 mm²) wires and terminals feature the unique MDPC-X anvil designs. These special openings create perfect crimp terminal shapes for custom sleeved cables: There's maximum pressure force on the conductor section BUT the insulation section of your wire and crimp-terminal stays in a fully round shape, not squeezed wider than high! This ideal roundness of your wire and terminal will keep the weave structure of the cable sleeving in a perfectly symmetrical condition during the whole sleeving process. After fabrication, each tool is tested for this specific performance in both openings and the 2 individual test-crimp-terminals are provided with your tool. Enjoy the ease of creating your own uncompromising custom cables with everything from MDPC-X! Crimping guide and tutorial for the MDPC-X crimping tool: Please have a look at the image gallery of this crimping tool. It gives you a full understanding about the procedures and important details of crimp terminal positioning. You open the crimping tool by "closing" it. Just press the handles together and the ratchet mechanism will release the lock. Place the crimp terminal into one of the 4 slots with the matching size for terminal and wire. The front of the crimp terminal must stick out of the jaws-rear far enough (the images explain it best). This is the most important aspect! Close the tool a little bit until it squeezes down the rear-wings of the crimp terminal (the so called "insulation holders"). Now push the uninsulated wire into the rear of the crimp terminal until the insulation stops at the narrow part in the middle of the crimp terminal (the so called "wire core holder"). The images show exactly what is meant. Insulation holder of the terminal is fully over the insulation, wire holder is completely over the uninsulated wire core. Now fully close the tool and it will "open" again when fully squeezed together. Done! You can always "pre-open" the tool by pushing the small lever (on the inside of the bottom handle) towards the front of the tool, while slightly pressing the handles together. If you experience that the front of a crimp terminal turns upwards or downwards, just place a finger underneath the crimp terminal front, which sticks out of the tool. Easy!

If you buy HOUSINGS, you need these: 50x ATX crimp terminals MALE Mini-Fit-Jr for ATX, PCI-E and EPS, made for 18 AWG and 17 AWG (1.00mm²). The difference to the 15-16 AWG MALE ATX version can be seen in the second photo.

The Original Pin Remover by MOLEX This is the only official Pin Remover for the extraction of ATX, PCI-E and EPS crimp-terminals – and of course it is the finest. When you own the MOLEX, you will have the best imaginable chance to succeed with a technically clean pin removal. Made in the USA, the one and only official extraction tool! By the creator of the official ATX, PCI-E and EPS specifications: The MOLEX Company. The 100% perfect manufacturing by MOLEX is 100% according to the specifications which the MOLEX Company uses for all their connectors and pins. No compromise, no manufacturing tolerances. This extraction tool is the opposite of the modding-toys, which try to imitate it for lower cost or higher profitability. How do I learn how to use the Pin Remover, is there a pin removal guide? On our second photo, you see a quick official description by the MOLEX Company. You will get our extensive private pin removal guide, coming with your Pin Remover shipment. Why are other extraction tools or methods avoided by professionals Of course you could extract the wires from the connectors by using other tools or even staples, but the other “tips” are mostly thicker than the tips of the original MOLEX Pin Remover. Why are other extraction tool tips usually thicker? Thicker tips would be needed with lower quality materials, so they do not instantly break off if used slightly wrong. The MOLEX Pin Remover tips can only get damaged with serious human error in the extraction process. Thicker tips would theoretically make the extraction easier, which many think is the main quality aspect, but that is very short-sighted and dangerous. If something is thicker than the MOLEX tip specifications, it will damage or reduce the highly important flexibility of the locking tabs on the sides of the crimp terminal. What would happen? The crimp terminal would not hold securely in the connector later on and could move out of position / fall out of the connector. In worst case you would end up with electrical damage to the devices in your system. Imitations and the story behind it Sometimes there are products, which try to look like the MOLEX original, on the market. These have been created by shop owners, who were not happy with the low (or no) profitability they had on selling the original Pin Remover by MOLEX. They then tried to offer a low-cost imitation of the basic shape, which is covered by tape or shrink in the whole grip-area, so the visible rest “could” look like an original MOLEX tool to the inexperienced user. With MDPC you will only get the best product, not just similar, close or nearly identical. No compromise, because tools are not toys.
