Most of the parts are available from Digikey, Mouser or Allied Electronics, with the exception of the Sumitomo connector & pins, you need to get those from Japan, it's hi-1000ec.com that has the connector & pins. Get the pin assemblies that have the wire already crimped on, it will save time. The drawback there is you don't have many color options.
Addition: radensb did a wonderful job identifying connector & terminal part numbers on his wiki. Raden, if you have time, I'd create a BOM (bill of materials) that shows total quantities for terminals & connectors. Since I work with those part numbers (or ones real similar) I was able to notice that one terminal is used on a couple of connectors and didn't order duplicates.  Great job. |
I have been working on v2 of the board that uses a different family of connector as I found that you
can buy pigtails very cheaply. I am also working on an adapter PCB with the factory connectors and Molex connectors so that the wiring is much more straight forward. No more crimping individual pins (if you dont want to).
