Thanks Bob,

I bought a bunch of them BUT...

Buyers be warned. The shipping cost quoted is PER ITEM !!. That means my
shipping cost was originally billed to me at $675!!! It did come with a
almost-as-large discount but still, the shipping was going to be about $16.
Don't ask me how that was calculated. This is 200% more than I thought it
would be. I eventually got a final shipping cost of $4.50 total but had to
dialogue with the seller to get it. So be warned!!!

When all else fails, give Stein a call (www.steinair.com). He may not always have the lowest price, but he usually will have what you need at reasonable price.

I've written to the seller on these terminals and
he's aware of the error in calculating shipping
charges. He apologizes and says folks that are
interested in this product enter their order for
what ever quantity they want and then WAIT for
an invoice to be emailed. To fix the error, he
needs to close the listing and create a new one.

He says he still has 800 terminals available.
$.10 each with a reasonable shipping charge makes
them an exceptional deal.

I just ordered some, and he did exactly that.

I'm also looking for a good source for quality 9 pin d-subs
(solder-type), and 2, 3, and 4 pin molex connectors if you know of
any... Smile

Why go soldered when it's so easy to go with
the REAL d-subs, those with machined, extractable
pins.

Which ever route you go, you can get the connectors
at:

Molex makes a lot of 2, 3, and 4 pin connectors.
You'll need to be more specific.

Thanks! Might be my imagination, but I was thinking the soldered ones
would have less chance of the pin coming loose from the housing, and
I've worked with the solder ones before. I'm thinking of using the heat
shrink and hot gun trick that you've published to make connections for
trim servos and such.

Certainly, use which ever technology is the most
comfortable for you and/or matches your tools set.
But the neat thing about crimped pin d-subs is that
the military spec pins . . .

http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Connectors/D-Subminature/D-Sub_Machined_Pins.jpg

will fit in the el-cheeso connectors. Retention
is not a concern given that it takes a special
tool and a bit of skill to get those puppies
out.

http://aeroelectric.com/articles/D-Sub_Pin/Pin-Extraction.html

The really cool thing about this technology is
that you can get mil-spec wiring from the
best-pins-we-know-how-to-build without having
to pay the best-we-know-how-to-do prices for
housings.

I know of no other combination of high-end,
low-end components with such a pleasing outcome.

Low cost crimp tools are readily available too . .

http://www.mpja.com/prodinfo.asp?number=15534+TL

you need these extraction tools too . . .

Okay, I've not looked closely at those lately
but I think RS stocks the AMP Mate-n-Lock series
of nylon rectangular connectors. You may already
have found at least one practical source for these
products. I don't recall if RS has the proper tool
to install them. If RS doesn't have one in the
store, try this one . .

http://tinyurl.com/ytkq2v

I just received one of these for a client and
it's a true "multi-tool" amongst the "butt-cheeks"
style crimping tools. It features dies small
enough to install the 28AWG pins on Molex C-grid
connectors and large enough to put spark-plug
terminals on your spark plug wires. It's
rather well made too.

There are a bucket full of choices in the
rectangular connects with b-crimp pins. Here's
one suite of choices:
