We use the Molex C-Grid connectors, housings, and the associated
crimper. We make our own connectors only for the female
connections to analog and digital sensor inputs on the RC where
we use custom (longer) cables, and cables with larger conductor
counts.
The three pin female housing is Digikey WM2801-ND.
The female connector that goes into this housing is Digikey WM2554-ND.
In addition to the three pin housing, the longer rail housings
that offer a varying number of connections can be useful, for instance
connecting an array of switches to digital inputs with a single
multi-conductor cable. An 8 pin single in line housing, for instance,
is WM2806-ND. We don't use the male pins, but these are part number
WM2515-ND.
Don't forget the proper crimper. We use Digiikey WM9997-ND,
this being the proper Molex crimper for these connectors. There is
a cheaper multi-purpose crimper, WM9999-ND, and we use this
crimper on other kinds of connectors, such as those for the backup
battery, but it is not well suited for the C-Grid connectors.
