0.1" (2.54mm) Crimp Connector Housing

by Pololu

These housings let you quickly make custom cables that mate with various 0.1"-spaced connectors, including male or female headers and solderless breadboards.

Just pick the housing for the correct number of pins, pick the colors and genders for your wires, and snap them into the housings (note: it’s not easy to get the wires back out, so plan carefully!).

You can easily make cable harnesses or assemblies that branch from one connector on one side to multiple connectors on the other; you can also cut off one pre-crimped end and solder the wires directly to components to make swapping connections easy

This customer-made video shows how to make custom cables with these crimp connector housings using pre-crimped wires and self-crimped wires made with a crimping tool.

Do just what they say on the tin. Watch the height on your designs - For example in a stacked Arduino shield based design, you need very long pins on the shield to shield connectors to get these babies onto vertical headers without clashing with the shield above. This is true of all 0.1 connectors like these (a.k.a Dupont connectors). consider right-angled ones instead. Crimping the pins can be a bit of a black art. You need the right kind of SN28-B crimp tool (although I have crimped successfully with just pliers - it takes a lot of care and practice). Beware, there are many SN28-B crimp tools but very few that are correct for this job - the key feature is that the tool has a die for Dupont 0.254 mm insulated crimp pins. A proper tool intended for these pins can easily be distinguished by shape from other crimp dies - see attached photos. On the pin side of the die it has It has a more usual heart shaped shape opening.
