I recently bought .1" molex pins from digikey for a project, and they are all attached. When I disconnect them and crimp them, there are still "wings" that come off the sides making it impossible to insert them into the headers.
attached is a picture.
I tried bending them out of the way, but it doesn't seem like that's the right thing to do. Cutting them off also isn't working cleanly. Maybe these connected pins are meant for machine insertion or something?
