[simpits-tech] AMP D-Sub Crimp tool for sale

[Cris Harrison]

I think I will post a construction (solder and crimping) dos and donts!
I have posted in my library ( *www.phoenixcomm.net/~phnx2000/sim/library* )
3 really good documents:
*1 FAA Advisory Circular AC 120-40B*   compliance with the Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) regarding the evaluation and qualification of airplane
simulators
*2 NASA-STD-8739.3*  Soldered Electrical Connections
*3 NASA-STD-8739.4*  Crimping, Interconnecting Cables, Harnesses, and
Wiring.

and little time will appreciate it, those like me with little money and
