Molex for shut-ins

DIY STUFF

I’ve never made Molex connectors before. Can anyone confirm these are the right parts for putting a 2-pin header on a PCB and a connector on wires?

Yes! Check out the Cheap Components page, i got links for these. Your links are for 2 pin variety just a head up, these images do not line up with what they are. go with the text descriptions.

Oh, and dont forget wire if you need it!

I can just about crimp with a close friend or family member, but it’s really difficult to keep it up.

My kids were raised on Boosh crimps. Can’t serve soup without one being chanted. Superb. Something for a big button project

I guess they did this last year. I think it means that the studio version of all their songs is out on vinyl now:


So much great music. Eels, Electroboy, something about kicking a Kangaroo in the ballz…
