&lt;p&gt;Very useful blog, thanks for the info.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m guessing the competitor parts are micro-fit 3.0 and mini-fit JR, for the 3.0 mm and 4.2 mm pitch connectors.&amp;nbsp;Is the tooling compatible too, or is that specific for Amphenol? For instance, if a person had older competitor part tooling, would that work with the Amphenol crimps for these ranges?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, if Amphenol-specific tooling is required, which part codes are suggested for it, for instance, the 4.2 mm product datasheet on the Amphenol site mentions&amp;nbsp;10129483-001LF but that&amp;#39;s marked as &amp;#39;no longer available&amp;#39; at Newark, and not in stock at Mouser, and labeled obsolete at Digikey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some detail regarding the crimp tools, and specifically low-cost crimping options (sub-$300) would be appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many thanks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=29304&amp;AppID=58&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
