websites before you actually order anything from a place like Digi-Key or
Mouser. Once you have the manufacturer's part number, it's pretty
easy to find on the website, and both Molex and Amp have pretty good databases
with drawings, dimensions and complete specs so you can get a very good idea
what the part looks like, how it will fit, and in many cases, which crimp tool
works with it. </span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I
received my connectors today, but the KK series is NOT what I'm looking for. It
looks like these terminals are for inserting into a connector that slides onto
the header. I need connectors that can slide onto the header just by being
crimped on a wire and shrink tubed. ideas? don't really want to have to spend a
bunch of cash before I find the correct one. I went ahead and ordered that
crimper you suggested so they must be compatible with open D-Sub Pins, Terminal
Lugs. </span></font></p>

fine on the KK size molex connectors. I don't remember exactly where I got it,
but this one from MPJA for $8.39 looks like it. If you were crimping all day
your hands would get sore (non-ratcheting), but for the amount I do it fit the
bill nicely without costing an arm and a leg. </span></font></p>
