[sdiy] Jst crimp style connectors

[Harry Bissell Jr]

Molex centi-grid connectors are good, choice of
tin or gold plated pins...and a crimp tool at $35
for a prototype (fits almost all Molex pins) to $125
for a ratchet type pro crimper

Check the part numbers on Molex site, then order from
Mouser.
