Subject: MOTM PCB Power Connectors

From: "paulhaneberg" <phaneber@...>

Because of the number of Oakley and Blacet Module conversions I am
working on at the moment I am having to put together a number of
MOTM style PCB power connecting cables.

I have made up 13 cables so far. AAARRGH!

Does anyone know of an easier way to put these accursed things
together?

I am clamping the connector bodies in a small vise, then putting
each wire in place and jamming them in using a small bladed
screwdriver. I have avoided gouging myself so far but have come
pretty close a couple of times, not to mention the blister on my
palm.

There has got to be a better way.

I would imagine that Paul uses some sort of crimping or insertion
tool, but I also imagine that could be quite expensive and not
necessarily the way to go when making up 20 or 30 cables.

Any ideas???
