Looking for assembled TE connectivity AMP connector with wires?

Interconnect Rectangular Connectors
1

Hello,

I purchase a crimp tool to assemble the following and putting them into the associated housing, but what I crimped looks terrible, so I was hoping I can get pre-assembled wired version.
a)crimped TE connectivity AMP connector MFG# 1-104257-4 with wire, then put into TE connectivity AMP connector MFG# 104257-1
b)I crimped TE connectivity AMP connector MFG# 5-104505-3 with wire, then put into TE connectivity AMP connector MFG# 103653-1

Therefore, I am looking for
a)assembled version of 1-104257-4 with around 1 foot of cable wire in the 104257-1
b)assembled version of 5-104505-3 with around 1 foot of cable wire in the 103653-1

Welcome to the Technical forum. I am wondering what crimp tool you used. The recommended took for part number 5-104505-3 is 91531-1 on this link:

This would be the same for 5-104505-3.

I do not see we do these on a wire .

Though you can request to custom.orders@digikey.com

They would be able to tell you if we would be able to crimp them to the wire for you.

That looks like a pretty standard F-crimp terminal. Key to success when using cheap generic tools with those is to note that the crimp cavity is somewhat heart-shaped, and that the open ends of the terminal need to point toward the curves, so as to be properly turned inward.

Getting them upside down will leave a person with a smashed-up mess, but with practice a person can do quite nicely with generic tools, of which the WM-9999-ND is my go-to.

I noticed I make a typo in my initial post (I believed you folks figured as much), instead of 1-104257-4 it should be 1-104480-4.
Appreciate all the suggestions. I didn’t realize there was a TE manufactured recommend tool. But the $1000+ dollar range is just too high, as I only need a few of these.
I was using a less costly generic hand crimp tool and not being proficient, likely causing some of my problems.
Will try and follow the crimping tips and will also reach out to custom orders. Thanks.

The tool listed for that part number is A29087-ND. So it is still not very cheap if you are doing very few crimps. It depends on the wire gauge you are using. I am not sure if we would do this as a custom. Though I can’t say for sure. That is why it is best to check with them. TE used to make a generic crimp tool that used to be able to do an okay crimp. It is now made by Molex with part number WM9999-ND. One thing about this tool is that even if it did not work, it is a very nice tool to have for odd jobs.
