🔌 KINCREA Dupont Connector Kit: 620 Pcs Crimp Housing Connector Kit with Male and Female 2.54mm Dupont Wire Connectors and Crimp Pins Review

Dupont's range of Kinkrea pin connectors for housing and crimp pins is a very useful kit for building Arduino projects. Different sized packages make it easy to assemble cables to various peripherals using common .025 (JST) pins. I often use needle nose pliers for crimping, although there are inexpensive crimping tools available. Good value for money!

The pins seem fine but the body is fine. Why. I can't insert the pins far enough to connect to a standard 2.54mm jack and they still keep disconnecting from the case. I also use a matching crimping tool. In other words, it's useless if you want to connect to standard 2.54mm pitch jacks, they mate well, but the housing doesn't allow the jacks to be fully inserted.

The product works as intended and comes in a handy pouch. No measurable resistance between wire bond point and pin end. The pins are easy to remove from the band and easy to use. The organization of the apartments is not intuitive and they have all been jumbled up. I dumped everything and organized it better like this: 1x2 - 1x3 - 1x4 - 1x5 - 1x62x2 - 2x3 - 2x4 - 2x5 - 2x6Female 2x2 Male

Worked well for my project. Use them on stranded 28 gauge CAT 5e wire. I've found that a 1.6mm crimp works best. The female sockets must be pushed in all the way to engage the pins and retaining bar. If you press them down until the front snaps into place, they look fine, but they don't connect well. Pin 1 markers are all the same so do not string them together when creating male/female kits. I just used a white paint marker to mark it; much easier to see. A cheap plastic insertion/removal tool

Excellent range of plug/socket housings and plug/socket contacts. As can be seen in the photo, all parts are neatly sorted in a practical plastic box; The needles are on two metal reels ready to dispense one needle at a time. The project pictured was completed the same day the package of pins and connectors arrived. I used six pins of stranded wire (18 AWG speaker wire) and solid 22 AWG wire (below the nano microcontroller so not shown directly) for power. Combinations of pins and connectors…
