      Hi Gents,
      I want to change my hotend/extruder frequently and I'm looking for an inline connector system with ~10 pole.

      • 4x stepper
      • 2x thermistor
      • 2x heater
      • 2x fan

      It should be small, but able to withstand the stepper + hotend current. So far I've found 'Molex Mini Fit jr', but their male housing is for PCB mount.
      What else is out there?

      THX for reading
      Olaf

        @o_lampe the usual choice is Molex Microfit 3.0, although if you ever need to re-crimp them then it's almost impossible to get the pins out of the housing.

          The microfit are a bit smaller, but I couldn't find a reseller, who has all the required parts in stock. (male/female crimp contacts & housings)
          I bought "JST SM 2.5" instead, although I'm afraid they aren't original. Time will tell

          Any other options? Just for further reference...
