Molex Pin, Male & Female .093" 14-20 AWG, Series 1189 Tin (Sn) Plated Brass Contact (40 Pair)

Not For a PATA 4-pin Molex connector. A standard computer SATA / PATA (Molex) 4-pin connector uses A Standard .062" (1.57mm) diameter pins. These pins seem to be of good quality. Unfortunately they will not work for my application. Because I am trying to rebuild a SATA / PATA 4-pin Molex connector.

These are what there supposed to be.

I really don't understand the bad reviews posted here unless these people are completely clueless about how to make these crimps properly. The item matches the photo so you get what you see. There is even a photo showing how to manually cut each pin from the strip with diagonal cutters. I tried one and it worked just fine. Two snips and the pin was free. Then I used the recommended style of crimper. One would think that somebody buying this kind of connector would know how to properly make the required crimps. You can NOT use a regular crimper that is built into a cheap wire cutter tool that smashes it flat... that would be considered total operator failure. You need the style of crimper that rolls the two flaps over and presses them straight into the center, called an F or B crimp. Most of the time, the proper Molex branded crimper tool is very expensive. However, I have found that the crimper used for Delphi Weatherpack connecters uses the same crimp style as Molex. You can find good Weatherpack crimpers on Amazon for under $20. There are also two different crimping sections of the pin, which you should already know. The middle section is where the bare copper wire is crimped. The end section with the longer flaps where the entire wire including insulation is crimped. I would suggest looking at a YouTube video before complaining about a failure to properly crimp Molex pins.

These Molex tins work as advertised, and arrived quickly and undamaged. Overall, very pleased with these, but I didn’t anticipate needing to cut them all to separate them. Thankfully, that’s a very easy job.

I'm working on an '82 Dodge Ram D150. I ordered a turn signal (tilt) switch for it. Of course it had the wrong pins on it. So I ordered these Molex connectors, so I could make my new switch work. These connectors were the ticket! Don't hesitate to buy. These are high quality.

I was expecting loose pins, like the photo. Maybe I missed some fine print. They are bonded together and have to be cut apart, adding labor to the operation

I thought this was the right size molex connector for my pc. I was wrong. Don't make the same mistake.

These metal connectors are manufactured in a strip where the connectors are in parallel and connected to each other. When the connectors are cut from the strip, no matter how close you try to cut, doing so leaves a small extended tab on each side of the connector. The tabs get caught in the connector bodies and make both installation and removal of the pins from the connector bodies difficult to impossible.
