        <title>RAMPS thermistor and endstop connectors</title>
        <description> Hi folks,

I&#039;m having an issue where the thermistor and endstop connectors will fall off the RAMPS board. I have my RAMPS board mounted 90 degrees on the side of my frame. 

The connectors have almost no friction with the pins. I think they slide off just from the vibrations of my printer. 

Are there any sort of locking connectors I can purchase? Or other ideas?

Thanks!!</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ They should have enough friction to where they won't fall off.  If it were me, I'd cut the current connectors off and solder on new ones.
