Incidentally. I bought a box of the wrong size JSTs so I have a bunch to practice on and ruin. My project needs 1mm/1.5mm ZH/SH connectors and 2.54 for standard pcb/breadboard connections. These 2mm PH are no immediate use so gonna make a bunch of useless practice cables.

Aside: pre-crimped wires are a thing and that’s what I plan to use where possible. I need to learn manual process though, to do some components that came with uncrimped wires already attached.

This is my wax-on/wax-off plan as well.

Man, I just got into building speakers which requires endless stripping and crimping and I hated it so much. So I just made myself do 100x strip and crimps and taught my hands to do it (hat tip @visakanv). Now it just happens without me thinking about it.

I'm surprised Molex hasn't entered the chat too. :) I don't remember my opinions on connector brands but do keep them separate and labeled because the tolerances are tiny and not compatible with other brands generally.

Hmm I don't know. Have mostly used Molex and JST on the projects I've done and don't remember using DuPont at all. A lot of the technical people I've worked with *do* have music connections but not sure if it's a coincidence. We used XLR cables a lot, a music industry preference.
