Can anyone tell me where I can find the female pins for the Kenwood HF
rig's 6 pin power connector. These ARE NOT Molex brand In fact, the
pin's measurements do not match any Molex pins I know of. The Molex
pins are made in the sizes, .093", .084" and .062" diameters. The
diameter of the Kenwood connector pins is more like .075/.076". These
are reportedly made by Japan Terminal Company (JTC), not Molex.

Also beware of some suppliers selling these power connectors, but using
Molex .093 female pins instead of the real ones.
Tower Electronics did this to me at the Shelby hamfest. I bought one and
when I test fited the supplied female pin, before attaching the wire and
inserting it into the housing, I found it had so much slop that if
centered, it did not even make contact along the barrel. This started my
quest on finding out actual dimensions. I made a pin extractor and
removed a pin from my factory Kenwood cable and measured it to find out
they were .075" ID. Actually , before I removed the pin I thought they
might be the Molex MLX line .084" pins. But that was proved a wrong
assumption.
So BEWARE TOWER ELECTRONICS for 6 pin power connectors.

So now I have a housing and cover, but no pins of the right size, thanks
to Tower Electronics

I contacted Tower and was told to send it back and THEY would test it.
But, of course that was on my nickel.

So, anybody know where I can get just female pins?
