No offense to IFI - you guys do a great job with the controllers, but $3.50 is steep for a 10 cent molex connector. If the above Digikey part numbers are correct, it's 8 cents for the connector and probably another 3 for the terminals - a saving of about $3.40

This is assuming you include this as part of your general pre-season Digikey parts order (*points to $5 surcharge for Digikey orders under $25).
