The picture is confusing. Try looking at this picture [ <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0jwgLkjMWzDQmZDS1h4T0g0UXM" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0jwgLkjMWzDQmZDS1h4T0g0UXM</a> ] .</p><p>You will still need to order the crimp pins [ <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8100" rel="nofollow">https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8100</a> ] and 6-pin female polarized housing [ <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/8099" rel="nofollow">https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/8099</a> ]. Unfortunately, the female polarized housing is retired from our catalog. Make sure that you are using crimp tool [ <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13193" rel="nofollow">https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13193</a> ] for the female housing.</p></p>
Customer #473674 on PRT-08094 - Polarized Connectors - Header (6-Pin)Customer #473674urn:uuid:55b0bee2-32e4-0e03-bc27-d738e5f14c5d2015-12-06T08:19:42-07:00<p>I didn't realize that the housings where discontinued when I bought the headers so now I've got a few of them without mating connectors. However, I found that tying your wires to the pins on a female header (PRT-11894) works beautifully. The wires are obviously not contained in the plastic, nor does this take advantage of the polarized header, but it works, and it's better than just throwing these away!</p>
