    Hey guys, Ive been looking evrywhere for ages but I can't find the type of crimp terminals used in firewire/usb/audio headers. I have managed to get a picture of the spec but I just can't find it in the huge lists of catalogues :(
    Please help!

    I've bought them before.

    I assume you've found the housings, if needed, but if not then they're from the Harwin M20-106 series e.g. single pin is 1060100, 2 pin is 1060200 etc.

    20 pin housing for USB 3.0 motherboard connection is M20-1071000

    How do you remove the pins from the housings? I have tried to use a 0.5mm jewellers screwdriver but that is still too thick. Can you use a needle to push up the plastic tab, or are they too fragile?

    PS. Thanks for the housings as well

    Needle is fine or the tip of a craft knife. They break easily.
