Stepper Motor Connector?

So I ordered some Nema 17 steppers for my Prusa Mendel, but the don't have wires coming out of it. they have a 6 pin straight connector. Does anybody know where I can find some of these connectors? I'd hate to try to solder the wires directly into that tiny connector...

There are thousands of variants of 6-pin connectors on this planet. With some luck you'll find the designation in the motors' data sheet; then you can search Mouser or DigiKey for that.

It might be one of the JST connectors, for example [www.digikey.com]

Thanks for the info. I didn't even think of searching the data sheet. That connector that you linked looks about right. What I ended up doing is buy some little 6 pin headers with the pitch that I measured on the motor. That aught to do it at least for now.
