In the past I've done many similar pins with a pair of needle nose pliers and then solder to insure a good solid connection. Might be a tool for it but unless you are doing a lot of them I don't see the need. Just a quick google will find some, "tyco.mqs.0,50mm crimper"

I've found on aliexpress a lot of crimp jaws but i don't understand which is the correct one.

yes...same type of tool I have....but the MINI connectors might be a bit too small....try putting something on the heel of the tool so it pushes the connector up higher into the "W" portion

You'll note the "AMP" stamped on the terminals. These are box terminals using what's known as an "f" crimp. TYCO bought out AMP Incorporated back in the late '90's. For an inexpensive tool, AMP made a SUPER CHAMP FT which should suffice. Check with your local electronics distributor or on line.
