I’m getting a little bit frustrated with my AliExpress 2.54mm dupont ribbon cables. The female housings get loose after just a few cycles, and the connections start falling apart easily.
I’ve gotten some Amphenol Mini-PV 47649-000LF, which are amazing and are close-enough to being compatible with a standard dupont housing. But it’s a hassle to crimp the wires myself, especially when I just need another female-female 6in wire.
Lots of stuff on the internet, but it’s impossible to tell when it’s actually good and when they just repackaged AliExpress. Anyone have a vendor they’ve had good experiences with? Ideally multi-color, but I’m flexible on that.
It will probably depend on where you live but what about shops like DigiKey or TME?
If you are using these so much that connections becoming loose starts to be a problem, maybe it’s time to buy something like this and solder the connections?
