Duet 0.6 Connector Type

Hopefully a simple post, does anyone know what type of connectors fit the Duet .6 similar to the one in this picture. The connector points in question are the motor/hotend/endstop connectors(above the loom connector). I have read they are perhaps Molex KK but when I searchred those connectors they didn't look "quite" right so I thought I'd ask.



Thanks in advance for any advice

They're called Dupont connectors. Or "jumper wires". Or "single-pin female headers".

I bought these and wired it up today. They work perfectly!: [trade.me]

Those White ones in your photo are indeed MOLEX KK connectors Dupont ones will work but are not locking or keyed which means that it is possible to place a dupont connector out by a pin or so which can lead to a bit of head scratching at best or a blown board at worst.

If you have the headers with the white tabs then use Molex KK ones else use Dupont ones (The boards can come with either or in some cases screw terminal blocks)

The white ones are Molex KK series. Suitable mating connectors are 22-01-20x5 where x is the number of pins (2, 3 or 4) and matching crimp pins 08-50-0032. These are widely available on eBay and from the usual component distributors. In the UK they are also available from Maplin at highly inflated prices.

You can also buy the looms directly from RepRapPro. I wish I had seen those before ordering!

Don't forget that you will need also need a crimping tool - I bought one of these:

HobbyKing crimping tool

This is their Hong Kong warehouse, but they also supply from Europe (Netherlands), UK (Suffolk), Russia and the USA - just follow the links for the different warehouses.

Note: these are cheap, but they do work very well!
