Re: multi-pin connectors

Crimping tool, it is the most expensive item here,
but don't go without it. Distorted contacts don't mate well.

If you need the smaller gauge contacts, you can buy connectors
with them and salt the smaller gauge contacts away for use when
needed.

Now, a tip. Don't use the little roll pin when assembling.
Put a little (a very small amount) crazy glue on the mating
point and slide the plastic housing together. You only get
one shot, do it right the first time and slide against a flat surface
to get the plastic halves to line up when they stick.
Then use the hole where the roll pin would have
gone for a small zip tie to keep the connector mated.
These connectors can slip apart if you don't.
