Need help finding the correct insertion tool for these pins, as none were stated on the tech data sheet for these pins, only crimpers were found.

Hello @thanh.nguyen

Welcome to the TechForum

The only insertion tools I found from JST are [IT-XA](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/jst-sales-america-inc/IT-XA/16352459) and [LIT-2013](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/jst-sales-america-inc/LIT-2013/16352501?s=N4IgTCBcDaIDIEkAqBaMAGAjAZhAXQF8g), but from what I was able to find both of those tools are not for the [SHF-001T-0.8BS](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rectangular-connector-contacts/331?s=N4IgTCBcDaIMoAkBiBaADGgjAFXQOgA4AhOEAXQF8g) contacts and I did not find any other insert tools for that contact.
