[Paparazzi-devel] Molex Connectors for Wire to Wire

[Matthew Currie]

Group,


 I just wanted to point something out to the group that only became 
obvious to me now.  When I made the investment into the crimpers and 
connectors I was a bit disappointed among others that it was apparently 
only a wire to board connection system.  Digikey and Mouser did not show 
the wire-wire male pin connectors in the catalog so I simply assumed 
they did not exist.  I noticed the male pin location on the crimping die 
yesterday and it really made me wonder.  I hit up Molex's website for a 
cross reference and found them.  Personally I figure this discovery 
alone just doubled the value of this initially expensive crimper.  I can 
now make much more interesting harnesses for the Tiny13 as well as other 
projects.  So if any of you were fence sitting on buying this crimper or 
not, this may make you want to seriously consider buying it.

Here is the part numbers for the housings for making up wire-wire 
connections.
