Where to buy Header socket wires?

william chan

We always use 0.1 inch header pins....
But where do we buy ready made header sockets with wires?

The ones I make myself are usually flimsy and the wires keep slipping out from the plastic sleeves.

You probably need to get the right tool for the pins/contacts that·you're using.· If you use some generic one-size-fits-none tool, a·pair of needle-nose pliers or the like then you'll get·unsatisfactory results (or worse.)· An Amp tool isn't good for a Molex isn't good for a Berg because they all make their stuff different.· Get the right tool·for the job, the one·recommended by the manufacturer.

Maybe try All Electronics. Here is a link to a 4 pin Connector, but they have other sizes as well. http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/CON-244/4-PIN-CONNECTOR-W/HEADER-.10-/-/1.html
Hope this helps.

given how common 0.1" headers are it always surprises me that it's hard to find a good solution.

I've been using Molex SL connectors. They are not pre-made but are pretty easy to assemble.
