I ordered a few to test with my crimper - They don't do freebies on
this part. :-( Hopefully they will fit. The drawing looks like
the ones I used to use.

Hmm... not sure if those fit the housings or not. Given the cost of
a crimp tool, though, the parts at Mouser look quite attractive.

I was contemplating buying 500 or 1000 pins if these work out.

Thanks for the tip.
