wire-to-wire connector for three wires?

[Flyback]

Hello,
We wish to connect three wires (each carries 1 amp) to three other wires with a push-to-mate connector. Is there any such thing, that doesn’t need a specialist expensive crimp tool to attach the crimps to the wire….(we don’t even need it to have crimps).

Ive just looked through all of farnell and there is nothing like this. Do you know of something?

it can be like a made-up cable assembly for a cable consisting of three wires.

Male and female spade lug connectors. Not much of a crimp tool involved. Screw type terminal lugs?

Three-pole in-line mains cable connector?

Are you looking for a commoning block, i.e one that connects all 6 wires to the same net?

lots of push fit connectors in this catalog

If i understand correctly this should do the job:

or perhaps this:

What voltage?
What IP rating?
How often is the connection made/broken ?

Can you just use a piece of "Chocolate Block" ?

What pitch do you want? Have you looked at simple IDC connectors. You could use IDC for the female and a soldered header for the male, if you don't want IDC all the way.

Thanks, pitch I don't care as long as 1 amp capable.
I looked at microfit 3.0 but a can find female ended wire assemblies, female housings, but not the male bits to mate with these.
we don't have an idc crimping tool, and cant afford one as its just a few conections to make on our test boxes.

Re. IDC: No commercial crimper needed for a few assemblies. I just use a thin piece of metal with a small slot to clear the metal bars in the connector that do the insulation displacement. In a pinch (like with a 1.5 mm connector recently), I just use a narrow jeweler's screwdriver and press between the bars. The metal can't be too thin, or it cuts into the insulation itself. Again, think of a blade screwdriver with a blade that is about the same thickness as the gauge of wire being pressed into the connector and thinner than the wire+insulation diameter.

Hobby servo connectors will also carry 1 A, but you will need a cheap (about $12) crimper.
