Strange crimp connector for BT phone power

[rsgaz]

Have a look at this and see if it is ok for what you need. £27

Isn't that just for ordinary ones, central locking tab?

A cheaper approach could be just buying a die set...

...if you already have any crimpers with interchangeable dies. Sadly, they are not a standard size though, so you'd need to figure out if they fit what you've already got first before buying.

I think he's going to use the hammer and screwdriver approach.

you could always cut the cable, shorten to a sensible length, then solder and heat shrink the joins.

I've tried soldering in the past and never had any luck, I managed to find some crimping pliers for DEC for £13.00 including postage and DPG has been kind enough to offer me some DEC crimp connectors.

I do have crimping pliers for other connectors and this will complete the collection.

Blimey. Got a link please?

Yes, it's on eBay from China. I know that means a wait, but hopefully, at that price and the fact that they look robust, it will be worth it.

Those are excellent, so much quicker and easier (only if you have enough room around the core), also useful for straightening distorted cores!

Others have suggested opening the supply and shortening at that end. And we've determined that it's a glued shut PSU.

I'd cut the cable at the plug and wire it into a new power supply that you can open. Depending on the voltage and polarity you should be able to buy one from RS

Good luck with the crimping, if it's the type of cable with lots of nylon strands around the copper they are an absolute ******* (insert your own expletive) to crimp.
