DISCUSSION: crimper and connectors (pre-fap)

[Jeff Johnson]

As Brad may be able to attest, I have the following crimper and an assortment of connectors and housings listed below, but the set is at home (or sometimes on loan).

I was thinking it would be useful to have a set of these connectors for general (free) use at the space.  I figure it would run between $100 and $150 to get a set complete enough that multiple people can use and not have to replace pieces every month.

Crimper: http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1928  ($35 plus shipping)

 

Bin to house it: http://www.harborfreight.com/19-bin-portable-parts-storage-case-93928.html  ($8 plus tax)

Assorted female and male connectors with the housings to put them in:  http://www.pololu.com/search/compare/70

The CAT3 wire that Deven brought in can be salvaged to use as wire for any connections people may have.

I don't think we have anything like this already, if we do let me know and I'll shut up, otherwise I'll FAP it.
