Hi,

Does anybody have a source for pin crimping tools? The style of pin I'm looking for is what you would find on the PIR sensor (the I/O). And I'm also trying to a molex crimper that doesn't cost an arm and three legs. freaked.gif

Thanks in advance.

Garth

    I crimp all my molex ends with a wire striper/cutter the cheap kind with a < > notch in either side I found that this works better than needle nose pliers. I also solder just in case. I don't think there is a cheap Molex crimper on the planet but I would also like to know where to find one if there is.
