Can this tool crimp the MC4 solar connectors?

No, its too wide, you cant only crimp the bare cable, itll grab the cover tabs. You need 1/4" wide yaws and these are 3/8" or 7/16" wide.

I've used it for both the pass-through style connectors and regular connectors and it works fine. We just went through a new install and terminated over 100 connections with this crimper, and it worked great. My business partner prefers the pass through connectors, I still prefer the traditional ones, but it works all the same.

The manufacturer does indicate that the tool is capable of crimping pins for wires from 30 AWG up to 18 AWG, so it should be capable of handling the connector you've specified

It would probably work fine with the existing crimp connector. To be sure, I might strip off a longer length of the 20ga, double it over and solder to make it fatter. However, be sure to not use a fuse higher rated than the capacity of your wire.

Yes. On the lower section there is a wire cutter and can be used to crimp several sizes of wire. . This tool is great and worth every penny IMHO.

MC4 connectors are used most often, they are weather tight, one each (male-female) from the panel . You will need to splice intoor use a terminal adapter at the batteries.Make sure to use a blocking diode if you are thinking about connecting directly from the PV panel to the battery. Not needed if you have a modern charge controller.Good luck-Bill

Yes it does. For stripping cables I really have not found much difference between any crimping tools. They all use the same design with a small razor blade. You need to be careful to not cut the wires inside the cable itself but that is similar for most tools. For it's price, it works well.

I have used these with about 5 different crimp tools and had no issue. Used on cat 5 and 6 as well but cat6 fits much better with the plastic core.

Yes you cut these plastic tubing to length. There would not be a problem with crimping.

I would highly recommend using a crimping tool, the Signstek A-2546 does a good job for the price.

Hi. I did them by needle nose for a bit. It worked but was a real job. I found this on Amazon and it is really a great tool. Made my crimps so much easier. I read a bunch of reviews and the questions for the handiest way to use these. Eclipse Tools 300-005 Pro's Kit AWG 20-10 Ratcheted Crimper, Non-Insulated, Open Barrel Terminals

Sorry, don't know. I use a no-name brand tool, but I'd say not, looking at the Foredom cables on eBay.

Yes, Sir.The Metal pins needs the crimper in order to be secured onto the cable or conductors.Now the plastic connectors incase the pins and fasten tightly, and there you have it a great connection!

Sorry for delay, The crimper works on Molex open Barrel connectors and may work on other Mfg. connectors but if it doesn't you may be able to replace the die with the right ones

Sorry, I have no answer for your application, but this crimping tool is working for us very well. We are using it with aluminum crimping SS steel cables, attaching zip lines on trees in Panama forest jungle.

There are no crimps involved. The knurled connector in the photo is captive on the cable but free to rotate. It screws onto the stud on the end of the cable. -- Tested one on my keychain for about 2 months before it loosened up, so I check it occasionally. Tested for strength and it didn't break until I used slip joint pliers for leverage.
