Does anyone currently source low quantity supplies of Molex part numbers 35141-0201 and/or 35143-0201?

Or to put it another way, does anyone know where I can find say 20-30 of the plastic battery mates used on the VEX batteries / micro-controller?

Just search on Tamiya connectors.

You mean someone actually gave these cryptic part numbers a name? What an amazing idea!

In all seriousness though, thanks so much - I think I spend an hour looking for these stupid things not knowing what they were called.

Pololu is a good source for robotic parts, they also have the Tamiya connectors with pre-crimped leads.

Oh yeah Pololu is great, I’ve bought all kind of stuff there. Idk why I didn’t think to check there, guess it’s been one of those days.

I love pololu.
They host a weekly robotics community meeting. :smiley:

The employees are awesome and gave me a tour. Robotics company in Vegas.

amazon also has them if it is easier for you to order. (Prime)
