What are those 'sockets' or 'plugs' for the electronics called, and where can I buy them? (Image) I need more of the little sockets and plugs shown in the image below, but I am having a lot of difficulty locating these things. They didn't have them at radioshack and they didnt have them at my local hardware store. Anywhere online I could buy a bunch of them?

You're best to build an order and submit it for a quote, rather than just ordering online. They will give you better pricing and realistic shipping rates.

Hansen Hobbies sells them online as well, but the quality is not as nice as the original Molex connectors and the shipping is pretty expensive.]]> stonedcoldskier General Fri, 28 Feb 2014 12:41:42 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,317550,317612#msg-317612 Re: What are those 'sockets' or 'plugs' for the electronics called, and where can I buy them?

Thank you!

Why exactly are these so hard to find. Seems so essential for anybody tinkering with electronics, you'd think Radioshack would at least have something like it lying around]]> kfootball15 General Fri, 28 Feb 2014 12:31:17 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,317550,317584#msg-317584 Re: What are those 'sockets' or 'plugs' for the electronics called, and where can I buy them?
