#238 The Wrong Connectors😲forget DuPont, use JST or IDC for final use

I've decided to go PRO with my cable connectors in the future. You'll see why.
► PCBWay $5 for 10 pieces https://www.pcbway.com

So a recent project started to fail due to a bad decision on which connectors to use. I've made a jump to some industry standard ones now.

► JST Plugs, sockets, with/out flying leads (wires)
Right angled PCB sockets (good for board edges): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AryKgT
Plugs & sockets pre-wired, various ways: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ap1q43
2-pin male plugs :https://www.banggood.com/custlink/GvK...
2-pin female sockets: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/DKG...

► IDC connectors
Plugs like the ones I show: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9gUW3D
Premade cables, various ways: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33029...
Bare cables (fit your own plugs): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32998...
IDC cable for Arduino use (prewired): https://www.banggood.com/custlink/Gmm...

► IDC Crimping Tool
Selection of crimps plus the tool: https://amzn.to/3LUmGxX
Just the crimper: https://amzn.to/3Iqby9N
Take a look around, lots of very similar tools, varying prices
