Hi,

Can anyone point me to a cheap supplier of board to wire connectors who also
supply the correct crimping tool?

Thanks

Gareth

Thanks.

Unfortuanately in the UK digikey charge £10 handling fee for orders below
£75 and tend to deal in much larger quantities than I want.

[in the UK]

I spent ages looking for the 'correct' tool in your situation a while
ago. For some reason, stamping "Molex" on the side of one pushes the
price to £150. Eventually, in the face of no easy-to-find information,
I took a chance and went for a generic crimp tool from RS, part no.
210-5012. It works fine with the Harwin M20 connectors I use, and with
some servo plugs I bought, and with some different 0.1" crimp
terminals I bought elsewhere. So I suspect a generic tool is fine for
any crimp terminals around that size.

Rapid Electronics sell the JKY 2500 series polarised 0.1" pitch
connectors, and a cheap (£15) generic crimp tool to match. You'll need
headers, housings, terminals and a tool. Plus some wire of a suitable
gauge, if you don't have any already.
