Connectors?

If you want the full 50 ways then this one looks suitable to me http://uk.farnell.com/amphenol-fci/65846-012lf/connector-receptacle-50-position/dp/1924648?aa=true&vw=&selectedCategoryId=&categoryId=700000005017&eq=N%3D203442%2B110049686%2B110178988%2B113176173%2B113190048%2B2031%26amp%3BNs%3DP_STORE_MARKETING_RANK_FARNELL_UK%257c0%257c%257cP_MAN_PART_NUM%257c0%26amp%3BNtpc%3D1%26amp%3BNtpr%3D1&searchView=table&iscrfnonsku=false. I have previously used similar connectors with fewer positions to connect wires to the expansion connector.

Some motors and printer kits come with JST XH style connectors. I can tell you that if you use a dremel to sand off the JST XH locking protrusions, and switch which holes the wires are in, the JST XH will fit onto the Molex KK connector.

But, some of you are probably cringing right now. I am too a bit. So, are there connectors you can buy to convert JST XH 2S and 3S to the appropriate Molex KK? I looked a bit and didn't see any.

Sort of a silly issue, since I know the board comes with the pins and connectors, but I just don't trust my crimping ability. I've already sheared the wire in half a couple times. But, while that is annoying, at least you know you did it. It's invisible errors that worry me.

Hello

yes sand off the JST works. thanks
now I get a new crimping tool for jst, molex kk usw….
that looks better.

would be nice to buy finished Molex KK to jst (6-pin) Cables (1m) for Steppers
and 2-pin , 3-pin for other things

You can buy JST to DuPont stepper cables from suppliers such as Robotdigg, and they will fit the Molex KK connectors, with the disadvantage that they are not polarised and don't lock in place. However, the pinouts of JST connectors on stepper motors are not standardised, so you may have to swap pins around in the Dupont shell like I had to.

looking for: IZOKEE Crimpzange

last night I tundes my CR-10 with duet wifi - with original Case - works
works great - using the ext. Mosfet from CR-10
