MOTM PCB Power Connectors

2002-11-27 by paulhaneberg

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???
