they might
last time I ordered, I thought I was getting loose connectors, only to find they were in a strip

Jameco has them.

Which ones were you specifically looking for?

*edit* nevermind. i got accused by the gatekeepers for being greedy last time I provided a link.

Vinz Clortho and Zuul, the minions and gatekeeper of Gorza of the Gozerians have spoken! You shall not anger Gorza the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, Gorza the Traveler, and Lord of the Sebouillia!

Molex crimps have been a pain to source lately, one day all you can get is bulk and I can't get them on a reel like I need.
Then, today, all I can find is stuff on a reel and nothing in bulk like you need.

Been difficult to keep product shipping because of all the shortages these days.

4-5 months ago I started to notice a lot of molex OOS. Their factory in India and elsewhere probably closed down for a while and now there is a ripple plus continued high demand.

The three letter forbidden vendor the pin suppliers probably get stock from on reloaded molex parts a couple months ago and I bought everything I could afford at the moment. I hate being out of one dumb thing to complete an expensive project. They got 08-52-0101 on reels @ 2 cents each. Looks like you gotta buy 10k though. You guys should organize a group buy or something.

Snipping them off of a reel has never really bothered me. It is actually easier that way if you need to count them, well without going by weight or something.

three letter forbidden vendor?

"The connector specialists" i got roasted last time I recommended them over a vendor charging 5x more.
