[sdiy] IDC, Pin Headers, Ribbon Wire: Where to start?

[Dave Magnuson]

I've successfully found key pins for Molex KK series headers at Digikey

https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/molex-connector-corporation/15-04-
9209/WM2400-ND/26481

There are other sizes / shapes available, too

How do you plug the female connector? I've seen plugs made for that but it
