Re: Finding pwm cable pins?

Below is some information I've collected over the years from CD threads and hours of searching all the major electronics part distributors. I've been using the Multicomp parts from Newark. They're cheap even in small quantities, and I've had great experiences with Newark, from searching for parts to shipping. However, they only seem to have the female pins - okay for sensors, but a deal-breaker if you're trying to make whole cables.

2226A-03 - 3-terminal housing
2226TG - Female crimp terminal

I've also had good experiences with Hansen Hobbies. Their deal is hard to beat if you're just getting started. But once you have the crimper, you'll likely do better if you just order the stuff you need.
