Has anybody had any experience with those little cables used for
connections on computer motherboards, typically to front panel LEDs,
etc? The pins are 0.1" centered and would be extremely handy for
routing +12v around while breadboarding stuff. I think the official
name is IDT cables. However, whenever I search for them, I get the
crimpers for the massive 40 or 80-conductor cables for ATA ribbons! I
just want to make the little 2-3 conductor thingies...

Thanks for taking a look.

I have only seen these done on a machine. There are probably jaws available
for crimpers but I would think it would be a total fumble since they are so
small.

If you only need a few, then get them out of junk gear. You can get eye
strain trying to chase stuff like that down on-line or in catalogs and have
to pad for the minimum order .
