Does anyone know the name for the tiny connectors on the Graphtech Ghost system (and maybe where to get them in Australia?)?

I don't mind shelling out for parts, but $30+post is a bit rich for a momentary on-off-on switch  :o

I'm far from certain as I have only had a quick look at an actual Graphtech Ghost system board. But I think they use 2 mm headers.

Minitek series made by FCI (seen below at Digikey), looks like it might be what you're looking for. Don't forget this is just the housing. Pins are sold separately. No idea where you would get them in Australia. Though, 2 mm connectors are a standard thing. So even if you can't get FCI easily, you shouldn't have trouble finding them.

FYI, the crimps are VERY small and pretty hard to get on the end of the wires. I.E., you likely be cussing like a sailor before you're done. Might just be better to pay for the real thing and fight a different battle.

Thanks mate (that's my obligatory "mate" out of the way :) ) - I actually did pretty much as you suggested, but bought a graph-tech bit that was cheaper, and will use the connector to wire up the switch. \

Hi, yes these are 2mm pitch. The Molex brand name for these is "Milli-grid".
I just order parts from Digikey, theres a 'kit' with an assortment of header sizes.
