Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial or instructions on using the AMP M1 butterfly tool? Just scored one on e-pay, but it does not have the paperwork to go with it. It does however, have the combs and color guides.
Thank you in advance,
Joe

Here you go: https://tooling.tycoelectronics.com/pdf/7559.pdf A word of advice - pay attention to the "F" & "M" labels on the combs. Depending on whether you're making a male or a female amp the wiring is opposite. That was probably the most common mistake when we did a lot of these. Sam

Thanks sam!
I just printed this off and will be studying it.
Now the question is where is a good source for the connectors?
Best,
Joe

Let me see....just off the top of my head 22912 and 22913. I don't remember which is which, but those are the part numbers for the standard Male and Female AMPS.
Now I do. Holy crap! These people are in love with them https://cableorganizer.com/outlet/NQP-DST-1001.html?section=4&catname=%0AComputer+%5D+D-Sub+Connectors+%2F+Adapters+%2F+Switches

Holy crap! These people are in love with them 5 for 22 = 4.40 each that seems about right to me unless you have a account they are wholesale suppliers not looking to sell small quantitys to end users the local Graybar has a 50 mn for COD

I have not used one of those in twenty years...before that I was sick of terminating amp connectors for cable runs and pigtales.

Skip's probably right. It's been 10-12 years since I paid $3 apiece in 25 piece lots. Inflation being the nasty animal it is....

I remember the good old days when they sent out pre-connectorized cables.If you had a stub up the wall and a 200' pull you got to stand on the ladder and pull it all up the stub.I considered it a character building experience.

And now we complain about cat6 termination  I got a 3M tool somewhere as well. Think I used it a grand total of 3 times. It falls under the "Been there, done that" list. Found an auction with one just incase you were curious: https://compare.ebay.com/like/30051... mid=300517407720&ff4=263602_309572 Mine has the AMP dies, and I think something else. Ed was telling me many moons ago that the other dies it has are 400's or something I think. Some kind of termination you would do at pedestals or something. I obviously never used it much
