    I need a few of these red and blue straight through crimps in Dublin over the weekend. they are only for low voltage so I'm looking for a place to pick them up tomorrow but i wont make a wholesalers, I've seen them in some cheapo shops but cant remember where.

    alternatively does anyone know where to get those pinch connection blocks, I need a 24 pin connector block with the pinch to open and spring close connectors, i've used them before but never bought one, it would be more flexable then crimping all the cables. I need to make up a lead for a PC power supply and need to link in some additonal 12V, 5V and 3.3V supplies from a DC/DC converter. so I need to join up a 20 pin to a 24 pin connector plus two other connections a 2x12V, molex and SATA power connection.

    anyone know these connector units, they are not screw in units but they are small enough connections. I'd need it to be tidy as its a small case, otherwise I'll just crimp the whole lot of them.

    If your around d15 I've quite a few of them splice terminals if you need them.

    I think the large pc motherboard connectors are from molex, can be gotten from the likes of farnel. Have a look in maplin, you might be lucky to find a connector with the same pitch that could be pushed on.

    Soldering and small heat shrink is another option, i often do this for similar jobs.

    thanks for the offer lads, the PC connection is not easy to get, I'd have to get two and join them but i dont have room in the case for all the slack,

    I'd prefer to crimp the ones with the additional connections

    Even 3 or 4 wires connected together works well with soldering and heat shrink. Twist together and solder in seconds. Neat as well.
