Title: Where Can I Find . . Molex Connector, .187 Disconnects, and wire
Post by: Squeeky on May 11, 2007, 11:25:52 pm

Hey guys I've checked allelectronics, and mouser.  Either I'm over looking items or I'm missing something.  I'm trying to find a place that carries 6-pin molex for my trackball hack, disconnects for cherry switches, and 22 gauge various colors for CP wiring.  Any idea of a location that carries all of these and if so can you point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Squeeky

I work for newark (www.newark.com) and I know we carry it, but admittedly our shipping is a bit high.  If you want, I can find some part numbers and let you know on Monday.  Also, we have some techs that can find it for you w/ on-line chat.

I picked up wire and disconnects from this place on eBay, not sure about the molex though I'm afraid..

Radio Shack (http://www.radioshack.com) carries all of that stuff. They're not cheap, but there's no shipping if you go to the store.

6-Position Female Interlocking Connector (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103251&cp=2032058.2032231&cp=2032058&f=Taxonomy%2FRSK%2F2032231&categoryId=2032231&kwCatId=2032058&kw=connectors&parentPage=search)

10 pack Female Disconnects (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103313&cp) I got 100 fully shielded female quick disconnects at Home Depot for $7 (Buchanan part# 70059), so if you need more than 10, I wouldn't buy them at the Shack.

75' of hookup wire (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049745&cp=&sr=1&origkw=hookup+wire&kw=hookup+wire&parentPage=search) I used this up very quickly, I'd check Home Depot for this as well while I was looking for the quick disconnects there.
