.187 female quick connectors.....
GroovyTuesdaY:
I was wondering if anyone has found a retail store where they have the .187 female quick connectors for a resonable price? I thinking about walmart but they didnt have anything really. all they carried was a pack of mixed connectors for like 7.00 and out of that there was only like 6 or 7 of the .187 quick connects, so thats no good.
Only other place i could think of was RADIO SHACK. Anyone have any idea how much they are there?
thanks,

Radio shack has 'em, but the ones around where I live have had a max of two packages of .187 female quick connects (10 piece), and usually only one. It's like they get one a week or something. ::) More common is male & female packages, or .187 & .250 female packages. I get better results at Fry's Electronics (like a Home Depot of electronics, computers, TVs, & appliances for those without one near by).
Online is another good spot. I'm sure some of the common refered sites from here sell them, but can't remember which ones. :-\ Maybe someone else who remembers?

None of the stores around me, incl Home Depot, carried the .187 size in bulk, only the .250 size. The .250 will fit just fine over the .187 tabs on the microswitches and stay connected. You can purchase a small bag of 5 of each size at Radio Shack for less than $2 and try it yourself before commiting to a box of 100 (which my local Home Depot sells for $5).

I've heard that Autozone and Napa carry them in big bags of 50 or 100 for a reasonable price. I haven't seen them, though, and I think that they are not labeled as .187, but they are the same size.
