[sdiy] looking for specific wires

[Joseph Craig]

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.

thanks,
-Joe Craig
