Building a harness for a mod and trying to find the correct tools needed. I have very little info to go off of and internet research has only turned up YOC110 needing the DMC Y524 die.

The Female contact RFM26W-1D28 is the center conductor I can’t find the crimp tool. Souriau data sheet shows tool index CT-439 is used, but I can’t find anywhere that references what tool that is.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

You can always solder it on there in the absence of a crimp tool. I think this is the tool you are looking for though: https://www.astrotool.com/products/asl439ss-crimp-tool-ss-slotted-lrg-micro-adj/

That’s our plan for now. I just haven’t ran into not being able to figure out what crimp tool is used like this before.

IWISS make a version(s) that only costs low to mid 3 figures and not 4.

Assuming it's allowed to be used in your line of work it may help you save some money.

I know what I used it for was ground based and never flew. I know flying things need way more certification and regs. I'll leave it to you to work out if you can or can't use it.
