## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-1917:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-1917:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

These housings work with Pololu's [wires with pre-crimped terminals](https://core-electronics.com.au/wire/pre-crimped-terminals.html) and Pololu's [crimp pins](https://core-electronics.com.au/female-crimp-pins-for-0-1-housings-100-pack.html) to let you quickly make custom cables that mate with various 0.1"-spaced connectors, including [male](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight.html) and [female headers](https://core-electronics.com.au/connectors-sockets/headers/female-straight.html) and [solderless breadboards](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/breadboards.html). Just pick the housing for the correct number of pins, pick the colors and genders for your wires, and snap them into the housings (note: it’s not easy to get the wires back out, so plan carefully!).

You can easily make cable harnesses or assemblies that branch from one connector on one side to multiple connectors on the other; you can also cut off one pre-crimped end and solder the wires directly to components to make swapping connections easy:

Pololu have seen these connectors referred to as “DuPont-style” connector housings, though Pololu have not verified that they can be used as direct substitutes for connector housings formerly made by DuPont. Pololu intend for them to be used with Pololu's [wires with pre-crimped terminals](https://core-electronics.com.au/wire/pre-crimped-terminals.html) or Pololu's [male](https://core-electronics.com.au/male-crimp-pins-for-0-1-housings-100-pack.html) or [female crimp pins](https://core-electronics.com.au/female-crimp-pins-for-0-1-housings-100-pack.html).

    This video, created by customer Derek Molloy, discusses various options for making custom cables with Pololu's [crimp connector housings](https://core-electronics.com.au/connectors-sockets/crimp-connector-housings.html), such as by using Pololu's [pre-crimped wires](https://core-electronics.com.au/wire/pre-crimped-terminals.html) or crimping your own with Pololu's [wider crimping tool](https://core-electronics.com.au/crimping-tool-0-1-1-0-mm-capacity-16-28-awg.html), though the same technique works with Pololu's [narrower crimping tool](https://core-electronics.com.au/crimping-tool-0-08-0-5-mm-capacity-20-28-awg.html) as well. The section on using the crimping tool starts at around 4:15.
