    Hello all

    I identified the larger one as https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/molex,-llc/0638133503/WM14027-ND/3263941

    Which one is the smaller one that I need?
    Thank you for any pointers

    Do you need Molex brand? Personally I do not. Marco sells the smaller tool .100 and I'm sure others do as well: http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/77-IDC-A100

    ...why do you need an insertion tool? I've never had issues popping a pin in.

    It's for IDC connectors, not crimped connectors.

    Had GUI on ACDC go in and out as the previous owner had pulled hard on connectors both under playfield and head.
    Had a seasoned veteran over who fixed it for me (thank you John), learned real quick that I DO want that tool.

    Checking connectors using said tool fixed everything fast and secure.

    Thank you for the heads up, guys. And agreed, no-name would do. I mean, it is "just a notched screwdriver"

    0.1" version -> 63813-3504

    The Pancons work but have plastic bits, the Metal ones with metal bits will last longer.
