Molex Pin Replacement

stueng · 16 Feb 2012 at 11:41

I have a crimping tool and pins for ATX/PCI power etc from when I sleeved these parts but I need to crimp a Molex power now (have 3 LED's that each have their own molex and want to consolidate)

Anyone know where I can get molex pins? if they are even called molex pins? and if my existing crimping tool will do the job?

You could try these or just google molex pins, can`t link the other one.

Crimping tool is hard to say as it depends on which one you have. When I needed to pick some up to replace a bent pin, I picked some up of the auction site. Not amazing quality but does the job.

If you are only crimping one or two then use a pointy pliers to close the crimp and use a soldering iron to bring heat into the crimp and blob a touch of solder in there. Or just change the connectors to something less old fashioned. Or wire them into some from of screw type terminal block and hide it behind a drive bay.
