What is their technical name by the way. We call them "3 pin plastic connectors thingers" but that doesn't seem to yield to many results in digikey.com

Enjoy!

Housings - WM2801-ND
Female Pins - WM2510-ND
Male Pins - WM2517-ND
Crimper Tool - WM9999-ND

Note: the male tin pins I specified are quite a bit weaker than the PWM cables that are supplied in the kit, our team is using them this year with great success, but buyer beware. If you don't already have a crimper for these pins, I HIGHLY recommend buying the above crimper. We tried fabricating our own cables last year with ZERO success because of our poor homemade crimps. This year, we are having a MUCH easier time =).

Disclaimer: I typed those part numbers in haste and didn't verify them carefully. Please check your order carefully, and make sure they really are what you want.
