I had read in some corners of the web that the dostar connectors are bit fragile. Is that true?
Just solder the pins, no need to buy a 4 indent crimper. Your cable is not going into space, keeping a aircraft in the air or keeping some alive. If you are going into business building cables, you can spend a few grand for a crimper. If you are doing a one off for your own use, just solder the damn connector. I have used my soldered first gen. Dostar connector at 47 amps with no heating issues. How do I know? I installed a temperature probe between the two power pins and monitor the temperature. Soldering also will fix those improperly crimped Rema cables.sphinx said:Ok, more data. He charges $299 for the conversion (which isn't bad, but I'm a DIY kinda guy). So, I'm half tempted to buy the coupler from him and a proper 4 indent crimper. An excuse to buy another tool.
