Does anyone know the name of these very common connectors---they are even used on e-bikes. I need the name of them and sources please---I cannot find them w/ googling all day. I know of one source for some of the sizes & that is http://www.electricscooterparts.com
Thanks!

RatShack also has them I believe.
Thanks for the name--that IS CORRECT Molex multipin plug & socket. It has made it a bit easier to source them but they apparently are hard to find. I tried your links with some success. It just seems to me that one place would carry the whole lie as common as they are but not so!
Thanks for your help!

Just to make it interesting, be sure to check that all the connectors are matched, as some on computers tend to be "keyed", so they plug in to just that connector,, one rounded side, and three squared, ect.
A quote direct from MOLEX "A Molex connector, or more properly, "pin and socket", is a type of electrical connector. In such a connector, cylindrical spring-metal pins fit into cylindrical spring-metal sockets. The pins and sockets are held in a rectangular matrix in a nylon shell. The connector typically has 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, or 15 circuits. Pins and sockets can be arranged in any combination in a single connector, and the housing separately has male and female gender.
There are three typical pin sizes: .062" (1/16"), .093" (3/32"), and .084". The .062" pin can carry 5A of current, while the .093" can carry 8.5A. Because the pins have a large contact surface area and fit tightly, these connectors are typically used for power. They are common in automobiles."
