[sdiy] looking for specific wires

[Tim Parkhurst]

I'd check the Molex and/or AMP 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.

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?
