I am trying to find a suitable connector that will let me cut up and extend
the regular mindstorm wires, as well as to connect to custom built sensors.
I have seen that some people have used
Molex connectors
but I can’t seem to find these at my local electrical place....
Ideally, the connector would be a hydrid socket/plug, like the 2 conductor
version of an automotive cable like this:
(sorry, can’t find a pic of the 2 conductor version) but with a smaller wire
guage. The big advantage to that is there is only one connector...no need to
buy separate ‘plugs’ and ‘sockets’.
The ide here is I could cut all my existing jumpers, and put one of these
connectors on it, then just make up “extension” cords whatever length I need.
Additionally, I could make my own sensors that just had this connector,
rather than the lego standard.
Any suggestion, pointer, or ideas??

One of the NALUG members did the very thing you are talking about. I believe he
used a connector from Radio Shack but I will double check or have him check the
forums.
