I hope to get them added as a stock item for the spare parts program.

The actual mfg part number is a Chinese knock off and won't do you (or 
me for that matter) any good. Details are sparse.  But I matched 
equivalent molex stuff from DigiKey were you can get datasheets for 
other cross reference.

Male SMT header: (J1 is already loaded CN24 is not)

J1 (4pin):	WM7622CT-ND
CN24 (5pin):	WM7623CT-ND
	
Female mate:

J1:	WM1722-ND
CN24:	WM1723-ND

The pins are: (depending on your wire guage)

WM1775-ND
WM1142CT-ND

Crimp tools:

WM9931-ND
WM9978-ND
WM9932-ND
WM9933-ND

Here's the catalog page(s):

Please add to the wiki where you see fit.

Group buys are always way cool.  I'll offer my assistance if you get 
enough people that you can make it feasible.
