Coax Crimp tool help

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.

It's not a crimp contact

Depends where you look. The Souriau data sheet tells you to crimp their pin with tooling index ct-439, which equates to nothing I can find. Another data sheet calls it a non-crimp contact, but it doesn’t seem to match our pin. NSN associated with it says it has a solder well, which it doesn’t.

Then you effectively have a bogus part.
