| pre-wired molex connector? |
| (1/3) > >> |
| bdsjake:
can these be bought anywhere? I thought I would try some 9 pin connectors I bought at Radio Shack for a swappable control panel idea I have. I bought the same part in male/female so I'm pretty sure I have the rights parts. But, I'm having a really hard time crimping. I've read the how to page on Bob Roberts site, but I don't have the right tool. Anyway, it occurs to me that someone somewhere must sell this prewired? That would save so much time and aggravation. I'm desparate enought that I am about to buy several pc power connnects and use them, but then of course I need 3 to get same amount of wires, which starts to defeat the purpose. thanks, |

To properly wire Molex pins, you really need the right tool. I thought for the longest time that I could just wing it, but the damn things are a PITA. So I spent the $15 on one. Nice investment, especially if you're going to do it a lot. |

Yup, get the right tool and crimping is a snap! |
| bdsjake:
ok, I won't give up yet, I'll stop by Radio Shack on way home today, if they don't have it then I'll get it with next Bob Roberts order. thanks, |

PITA for sure, but I use some small nose plyers to crimp first, then solder to make a damn solid connection. I don't trust crimp connections on things which get pulled apart a lot... |
