For current handling, I like the Molex Mini-Fit Jr connectors. They go up to 7-8A per pin, easy to source, and you can use universal crimpers with them. If you need big current, just parallel up the connections.
I use the Molex 63811-1000 universal crimper, it has a range of slots for the wire crimp and insulation crimp, labelled by diameter. DigiKey lists it for $45.99, I seem to remember getting it for less but I don't remember where. The Mini-Fit show up in industrial/automotive a bunch, too. They have an IP67 variant if I remember correctly. - Mark M > On 11/7/14 5:59 PM, Mark Medonis wrote: >> Nope, the servo splines are not standardized, sadly. > > I guess it's like wire-to-board connectors, then.
