@emily@fedi.uni.horse I always buy precrimped for those at work, picoblade are such a pain to work with. (We only use them when something off the shelf demands it.) Also had bad experiences with Molex Clik-Mate 1.25. Insulation crimp tends to turn out meh and the pin sticks out the back of the housing enough to be a concern. My co-worker always epoxies them into the housing to be sure... Clik-Mate 1.5 and 2.0 have been lovely, though. They're my go-to solution for low-current low-speed board-to-wire.
