Molex Micro-fit 3.0 - no problem now

[TitusADuxass]

I've always disliked the Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 connectors - until now.

I took advantage of an Aliexpress Black Friday offer and a snagged one of these for 12 odd €.

It depinned the connector with ease.

I've got a bag of 100 crimps on the way to me, I hope I'll be able to crimp them with a PA-09. If it works I can get to work tidying things up on several printers.

Those release tools are the squirrels knees!! They are def a game changer as you can reuse instead of having to re-terminate the ends. Love it!!

Looks good!
Which one did you buy? There are 3 different ones.(one is for Minifit JR)
DAP-D145    41,83€
DAP-D120    12,29€
Both look the same (nearly) and the one for MX3-Microfit male costs about 2.5 times.

DAP-D120 - the one for the female crimps

I see!
Means: for the males you need another tool.

But the problematic ones are always the female (Oh sorry, this is chauvinistic)
