Title: Need to find some .110 female quick disconnects
Post by: fossala on Tue, 27 March 2012, 02:22:48: As the title says I need to find some .110 female quick disconnects. I cannot find any in the UK. If any one knows where I can get some (I only need a handful) please share you knowlage.
If not can anybody proxy me some from here http://www.lizardlick.com/LL-Quick-Connect-110-Insulated_p_184.html
I need them for my seimitsu buttons for my ltrack-x.

Post by: fossala on Tue, 27 March 2012, 02:43:48: I have a feeling there not called quick disconnects in the UK as even google searches within the UK don't show much.

Post by: sordna on Tue, 27 March 2012, 03:05:26: Well, here's a "disconnect terminal"

and TAB-IN terminals:

they are listed under "splice" or "solderless" terminals. I just googled for connectors site:.co.uk
I'm sure if you go to a local store you'll find some, just bring the switch to make sure what you find fits.

No need to go online, especially international, for simple stuff like crimp connectors, screws, etc.

I've got a bunch leftover from some joystick builds/mods which i got from akihabarashop.jp

I've stopped using lizardlick ever since they switched from the standard system to the preorder system but they're trying to fix stuff back to normal over there.
If you want domestic, I guess you can use gremlinsolutions

I spend 9am-7pm working 5 days a week. Buying online is easier.

Like I said, if you want to go domestic, there is gremlin solutions which is located in the UK
http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/products/110crimps-20pack.htm
You'd need an open barrel crimper though

Post by: sordna on Thu, 29 March 2012, 23:20:49: So they call them crimps? Good store you found there, here's another variety:
http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/products/crimps-pack50.htm
I don't have a crimper so I used pliers to attach mine to wires.

Post by: mr.mortified on Thu, 29 March 2012, 23:31:24: I never go to gremlin so I don't know what they stock. The closed barrel insulated terminals should do just fine, just be sure to crimp twice. Once for the connection and once near the end of the wire for stress relief.

Open barrel crimpers are expensive too.......

I don't understand why they converted the .110 inches into mm though........

Post by: sordna on Fri, 30 March 2012, 00:16:04: size doesn't have to be exact, here's where I used mine, they are a bit wider than the buttons' terminals, but very snug anyway. Note the crimping with pliers, I used the wire-cutter part of the pliers, careful not to cut the piece in two which happened on my first try :-)
