Where are you getting your crimp terminals?

[larryq]

I'm always surprised at what they cost at Home Depot and hardware stores, the ring, bullet, spade terminals.

I'd like to buy in bulk (100+ piece grab bag) and save, does anyone have a recommended online seller with good quality product? (I'm looking particularly in the 14-16, 18-22 AWG sizes.)

I haven't done a price comparison in a while, but Parts Express sells 50+ bags w/ quantity discounts.

The website *****, but these guys have good pricing if you set up an account. We get their catalogue and phone in the orders. A go-to source for car stereo shops in So Cal.

Digikey or Mouser. You can buy small quantities, but you get better discounts when you buy 100.

I like Waytek Wire, Terminal Supply Company or Del-City for that stuff. Good quality terminals. If you sign up to their mailing lists, they send out specials all the time.

I haven't ordered from this place but have been wanting to place an order for a while now. They seem to have good quality at good prices on terminals of all sorts and tie wraps.

+ 3 on Waytek. Plus, they are only a few miles from me so I can just run over and pick stuff up when I need to.

I have been getting high quality AMP PIDG terminals here lately: http://www.bandc.biz/electrical-terminals-splices.aspx

Combined with a ratcheting crimper they make a connection thats solid. The nylon insulation works out better than whatever is on the cheap stuff.

Waytek is usually my go to source unless it's a small order. They really know how to hit you for shipping.

I buy most of my terminals through Standard Motor Products, they sell them through lots of suppliers UniSelect, NAPA, CarQuest and many other auto parts stores.

I buy motorcycle terminals (uninsulated) from this guy:

For anything he doesn't have I go to Digikey. It takes a little digging through their catalog, but the pricing is well worth it.

+1. I have used this for wire and terminals many times.

Del City has lots of good stuff

mostly Amphenol and 3M. don't use that much so usually a box of 200 might take a couple years to be emptied. then there are times when the crimpers go out for a couple weeks and then i can use a few hundreds to a thousand in that time(connectors and ferrules). got a nice stock of PIDG from a couple auctions and some flea market finds, others from friends -contractors and industrial electricians.
good connectors are nothing without the adequate crimpers and technique.
