Re: Wiring Kit
Also consider using your DigiKey voucher for this (assuming there is one this year):
PWM/signal cable supplies:
WM2517CT-ND - CONN TERM MALE 22-24AWG TIN
WM2510-ND - CONN TERM FEMALE 22-24AWG TIN
WM2800-ND - CONN HOUSING 2POS .100 SINGLE
WM2801-ND - CONN HOUSING 3POS .100 SINGLE
WM5354-ND - CONN HSG 2POS .100 SINGLE VER D
WM2872-ND - CONN HOUSING RCPT .100 3POS
WM9999-ND - TOOL CRIMP 14-24AWG UNIVERSAL
We use 22ga 2/3 conductor stranded security system wire for PWM cables. If you hit up a local security system/low voltage installer, and are _specific_ about what you ask for (you don't want ethernet cable as it is solid), you can get enough for several years for free from their scrap.
Be sure you are using the correct wire, and are crimping properly.
