When I got my OKR converter I looked at the pin spacing and noticed it would not fit into the holes of a circuit board from madvapes that I ordered; the spacing of the pins on the converter were too close together. So I started looking fro another way to connect the converter to my wires. I got online and searched Mouser's site for a connection adapter. I couldn't find one so I called up Mousers and a Tech told me that there was a 5 pin female connector that plugs into the converter. He is going to call Murata and get me a quote for the part. The insert force is high enough that a really good connection is guaranteed. It is a part that Murata makes for the 3 amp, 6amp, and 10 amp converter pins; the pins are spaced the same on all three models. When I get the quote I will follow up on this thread with the part number for anyone else interested.
A solderless way to connect an OKR converter (no soldering the converter pins)

I got my quote from Mouser and it seems that they can not find a part that connects to the pin. I was told that either the part has an incomplete part number or no such part exists. It looks like I will be soldering the pins of the connector after all; oh well, it would have been nice; but a solder joint would definitely be better anyway.
Unfortunately the only way to have something with perfect sip5 pin spacing for the OKR or TI-08100 is a custom made board...I spent over a month looking for a perfect header socket and came up with gooseeggs...srry...
I spent a while searching as well (maybe we should've said something to each other in the OKR thread lol). I just de-solder the pins now, push some wire through the cleaned up holes and solder to the pads - looks a lot nicer.
What do you mean by desolder the pins and solder to the pads; could you explain this to me please. I just direct wired a okr 10 amp converter and it took me a while, if i can make it easier it would be cool.
You just have to heat up each pin and pull it out of the hole - then you can slip a wire through and solder them as the pins were.
