Single (1 pos) 2.54mm 0.1" crimp housing
« on: December 10, 2019, 10:44:48 pm »
Suppose I'd like to make some jumper wires for the standard 2.54mm pitch rectangular pin header or socket.

I must be missing something obvious, but so far I could only find two products for single crimp housing.

Amphenol 65039-036LF  ~ $1.20
TE 7-87499-2  ~ $0.60

I've a problem with their pricing. That makes up to $2+ for one jumper wire. That can't be it?

Forgot to say I was thinking of buying them from one of the usual big name distributors. As in adding them to an existing shopping list.

But of course a bag of these on e.g. Ebay seems to be much cheaper, it seems like the way to go is to wait for the shipping and then be done with it.

The way I make test leads of this type is to solder insulated wire into a suitable crimp contact, e.g. https://www.harwin.com/products/M20-1160042/ and then use heatshrink tubing for strain relief and insulation over the contact body. Every few years I buy a reel of 1000 contacts (usually a Molex part) for this purpose.

For the wire, I typically use leftover ribbon cable, either conventional or twisted pair. PVC insulation on cheap ribbon cable means you have to be careful and quick when soldering it, but with practice it is not a problem.

This makes for cheap test leads when prototyping.

Thanks, the price of this one makes much more sense, I think.

I got a few Amphenol 47649-000LF and 48247-000LF female crimp terminals on hand. I suppose if the housing is described as 2.54mm pitch and looks similar enough then they're likely Dupont type and mostly compatible, including the noname ones, and with male pins as well. (It's all just for hobby use in this case.)

Just for sake of completeness to this post (and tech drgs etc.) here's our website link to the housing mentioned:
https://www.harwin.com/products/M20-1060100/

This one will be properly compatible with the https://www.harwin.com/products/M20-1160042/ contact you mention - just a push fit into the hosuing. You can also buy those M20-1160042 contacts as individual items, not on the reel:
https://www.harwin.com/products/M20-1180042/

Hope that's helpful!
