Thanks, Andrew. I didn't realize there were solder-type contacts for the round AMP connectors. The terminals are usually the inexpensive part, it's the crimper that's generally pretty insane to buy. I'll try that route for those. I also looked into the price for crimpers for Molex and they weren't near as bad - though still a bit costly for occasional hobby use. I was able to find some multi-purpose ones that looked decent so that might be the way I go there. |

These are the ones I used on my servo driven 4th axis: |

Oh, so the pins don't actually come out of the shell? I have some SUB-D connectors like that. Not bad to work with, but I was hoping to re-use the shells I have. It isn't critical I do so, just trying to save a few bucks. |

They may do perhaps with one of those tubular extractors - mine came fully populated - they are well made Chinese copies off ebay sold as 'circular military connectors'. Initially the seller cocked up the male / femaleness of the free cable plug / chassis socket, so I ended up with a few of the opposite 'orientation' Here is an example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Military-4-Pin-Cylindrical-Voltage-Circular-Connector-/191653795399?hash=item2c9f74d647:g:JkMAAOSwyQtVwfUN |
