Good place online to restock crimp connectors? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

davepl · 06-17-2012, 05:38 PM

I need to buy a bunch of standard crimp connectors (yellow, red, blue, you know, the standard stuff). Summit doesn't seem to have much, Radio Shack just has small packs, the local Ace is really expensive, and Amazon has rude shipping on everything (and nothing qualifies for Prime).

Has anyone had a good experience with a vendor where I can pick up packs of 25 or 50 of individual types at a decent price?

I've had good luck with pcsconnectors.com for Packard stuff, but this is just regular hardware. If all else fails I'll go to Home Depot, but you'd think this would be an easy thing to buy online!

Thanks,
Dave

Try NAPA, they have a lot of bulk items like that for fleet supply.

this is the place to buy electrical related items online.
everything from loom by the foot to connectors in bulk.
great place.
example prices -
100 pcs butt splice 14-16 gauge wire $7.04
1/2" black plastic loom - $0.20 per foot (10 feet for $2.00)

and a really good thing about them is ALOT of their stuff is MADE IN THE USA!!!!!

Now that's what he's talking about! Been wanting to build a good kit for some time, now it looks like I can just buy one. You the man Austin!

http://www.repairconnector.com/ Seem to have good prices, but I don't know about their shipping prices

I dunno about online, but i stopped buying kits. They always have a ton of stuff I never use, so I started buying a nice plastic divider box, and buy packages of higher quality connectors and odds and ends as I need them, and over time I have a nice "kit".

Just ordered my weather pak connecters from Waytech, recommended by the electrical guys in the electric section. Good sealing for under hood connections

Check them out!

Fastenal is pretty reasonable here and had a lot of connectors in stock. sign up for an online account with them and you can have them shipped to you or pick up at the fastenal store.

x2 on Fastenal. I'm lucky to have one nearby, and they are great for buying bulk connectors, and my new love of all stainless under-hood hardware. Grainger and Graybar are good choices if you have one of them closer to you.
