If I can butt in,
These are all excellent sources and I too use Allied for a bulk of my 
connectors, pins, plugs etc.  Good price and timely shipping in the 
States.  I don't know about overseas.

However, please pay attention to the crimper tool also.  The best 
connector in the world is only as good as the crimp.

You get what you pay for but you don't have to get fleeced.  AMP makes a 
terrific PIDGE connector crimper, but at $400 I prefer my Eclipse thank 
you at 1/10th that.  I rarely have more than one bad crimp in 100.

If you prefer solder, don't scrimp there either.  Not all pins are 
created equal, nor is the solder.  Learn before you burn.

  Tony,

  Suppliers like Allied, Mouser and DigiKey are wholesale electronics 
suppliers and while they have the terminals you want, they typically 
sell in large quantities and the have the entire product line so 
selection is sometimes confusing.

  I've found Stein Air 
(http://www.steinair.com/store.cfm?tlcatid=26<http://www.steinair.com/s
tore.cfm?tlcatid=26>) and B&C Speciality 
(http://www.bandc.biz/electrical-terminals-splices.aspx<http://www.bandc.
biz/electrical-terminals-splices.aspx>) to have the correct terminals at 
reasonable prices and reasonable quantities.

  They both sell the proper crimp tools.

  For some items one will be lower priced than the other.  Be sure to 
check shipping charges - I recall B & C is a bit more expensive.

  I've not used terminal town.
