Odp: [sdiy] looking for specific wires

[Roman]

how about D-SUB pins? Disassemble any D-sub socket and soder the wire to the terminal.
wrap wit heatshrink and you have quick'n'dirty solution.

  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,

    I picked up a multipurpose crimp tool for about $11 that works 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.

    Molex makes a generic crimp tool for prototype use... about $35. It works
    on
    most small pins (ampmodu, molex cc, etc)

    hey all,

    I'm in the hook-it-up phase of my sequencer project and I'm going from
    panel controls to a uP evaluation kit with header pins. From my
    digital electronics lab I have some wires with the little crimp
    connectors that slide onto the header pins but I need more. I have
    searched mouser, digikey and all over google to find more of these wire
    but am having no luck. I can't afford a $200 crimping tool to do it
    myself. Anyone know where I can find some of these header connector
    wires to jump from my panel to my evaluation kit?
