0.1 (2.54mm) Crimp Connector Housing: 2x20-Pin 5-Pack

These crimp connector housings are a great solution for quickly creating custom cables. They work seamlessly with our pre - crimped terminal wires and crimp pins. You can easily mate them with various 0.1 - spaced connectors, such as male and female headers and solderless breadboards. Just select the housing with the right number of pins, choose the colors and genders of your wires, and snap them into the housings. Note that it's not easy to remove the wires, so plan your connections carefully. You can make cable harnesses or assemblies that branch from one connector on one side to multiple on the other. Also, you can cut off one pre - crimped end and solder the wires directly to components for easy connection swapping. There are videos available. One shows our various wire and cable options and how to use these housings, and another customer - made video demonstrates making custom cables with pre - crimped and self - crimped wires using our crimping tool. Dimensions are provided for different pin configurations.

Using these crimp connector housings is quite straightforward. First, decide on the number of pins you need for your custom cable. Then pick the colors and genders of the wires that fit your project. Next, simply snap the wires into the housing. Remember, once you insert the wires, it's tough to get them out, so plan your cable design ahead. To create cable harnesses or assemblies that branch out, arrange the wires according to your connection needs. If you want to swap connections easily, you can cut off one pre - crimped end and solder the wires directly to components. As for maintenance, keep the housings clean and dry. Avoid using excessive force when inserting or handling the wires to prevent damage to the housing or the wires.
