Quoted from swampfire:

I'm making Molex connectors for all of the mechanisms shown here. I didn't bother with the pop bumpers.

First one is done:

I have a Molex kit I bought years ago, which is for the 0.062" standard series. Those will carry 5A per circuit. But for this project, I'm going to use the 0.093" pins, which are rated for 12A. I also like the "positive latch" for the 3191 series housing. I ordered enough parts to make 30 connectors, which was about $40 at Newark:

I'm really diggin those molex connectors. I'm rebuilding my pop bumps and decided to put 1/4" quick disconnects between the hardness and solenoids to make life easy now and in the future in case they need servicing.
